Ratings & comments
Not a perfect fit for my curriculum, but adapting it took twenty minutes instead of an evening.
Yes! The materials tab has a printable. Look under the practice phase.
That is a fair point about the sourcing — I have listed two substitutes in the materials now.
The extension is optional in the plan, but I mark it for the students who choose it.
Solid lesson. A couple of the materials were hard to source on short notice, but everything else was excellent.
