The scanning tutorial in particular would go a lot better in a scanning frigate with Astrometrics at 3 or 4. Mission agents should hand out rewards, not basic needs. Done right, this would obviate the need for civilian modules completely.
This.
Some skillbooks are handed out twice, others not at all. There are enough people in the rookie chat to help the rookies with advice on any problems, still that should not be necessary.
If they get all their skillbooks in advance and know they'll need to train the stuff for the next storyline, they can prepare. It also helps them to get into the planning of skill training.
Civilian modules are a nuisance and need to disappear. Also there should be only one source of modules. As it is now, some modules are handed out by the tutorial, others by the storyline missions. It's simply confusing.
Also add an option in the Agents dialogue, to get a new sample of passkeys in the scanning storyline. I did hand out a couple of old ones to desperate rookies who got blown up while transporting them in their cargo. They are available on contracts only and depending on availability, prices can be crazy from a rookie perspective.

I went through the NPE, and even did the career missions... as part of the requirements to join E-Uni. Then I spent most of my time reading Eve encyclopedia, and the E-uni wiki, as well as PVP blogs like EveAltruist.
To play this game, you need to know how to find information on your own. If a new player can't do that, I suppose the new player isn't wanted by either the community or the developers.
"Throw the child into the deep end, if it swims, good! If not, the child wasn't wanted anyway." In fact, if the child cries or whines, all the more the community would turn hostile towards it.

You are obviously quite proud of the fact that you are one of the people who didn't get culled, yes?
EVE will require a great deal of research and initiative whether or not the NPE is well-organized, and whether or not it presents accurate information. It can't possibly hope to teach new players everything. I would just like it to teach the basics correctly.
In fact, here I am, nearly a year and a half after I joined, hitting the figurative books to learn PI.

The agents not handing out civilian codebreakers and analysers has been documented before, I brought it up in the NCQA subforum a while back, at first I thought it was because I ran the missions in a certain order, others mentioned that they have done them in the same order and received the modules, so it appears to be inconsistent and random.
Some of the tutorial missions hand out inappropriate skillbooks for the race of your character, I ran the Amarr missions to start fixing my abysmal standings, I received a shield tanking skillbook from an Amarr agent.
My review of them is here if anybody is interested.
