Having been one of those 250 hour wonders in the right seat of a normally single pilot aircraft many moons ago, what you take out of that experience is highly dependent on the willingness of the person in the left seat to impart knowledge in a useful way, so much so as to make that whole concept pretty worthless in my opinion.
I learned far more on my own in a 172 doing survey than I did in the right seat with a guy in the left who felt imposed upon by my presence.
