Meh, I learned the hard way that teaching Jacob to use Barrier is a waste of skill points. It generally results in him doing nothing but spamming Barrier over and over again. It's nice for Vanguard!Shepard, though - anything that makes it easier to shoot husks and collectors in the face with a Claymore is fine by me. (Side note - what the heck is the difference between Barrier and Fortification anyway? I should check that sometime.)
"Loyal" really doesn't make the point that I think the game was trying to make, considering that half of your crew is only there out of loyalty to Shepard to begin with. "Focused" or "dedicated" might've been better. I mean, I can see why, say, Tali might not exactly be focused on the mission after her father has been utterly disgraced, but I have no doubt that she's loyal to begin with.
