Because for sure it is not good to teach how to design hard disk layout (102.1) before knowing the correct location for files and the FHS (104.7). I always thinked of it as a list of arguments that needs to be covered, leaving the way you teach them to you. I also use a totally different order in my lessons (http://labs.truelite.it/attachments/225/corso.pdf, in italian, for anyone who could be interested). But there could be many different approach...
