Valoraciones y comentarios
My students loved the hands-on part. The exit ticket gave me exactly the formative data I needed. Highly recommend.
Ran it twice this term with very different groups and it held up both times. That is rare.
Sixty-five minutes matches my experience too. I now split it across two shorter periods.
Totally agree, the wrap-up is the strongest part.
