Solid lesson. A couple of the materials were hard to source on short notice, but everything else was excellent.
Noted, I will add a timing warning to the description.
A year down worked for me with the reading swapped for the summary version.
Same here — back-to-back is the way to go.
Ran it twice this term with very different groups and it held up both times. That is rare.
Please do share the translation, that would help a lot of us.
