Ran it twice this term with very different groups and it held up both times. That is rare.
Totally agree, the wrap-up is the strongest part.
Is there a printable version of the recording sheet anywhere?
Quick note: I swapped the video for a live demo and it worked just as well if you don't have a projector.
