Ratings & comments
Not a perfect fit for my curriculum, but adapting it took twenty minutes instead of an evening.
Setup was about ten minutes for me once the materials were out on the bench.
My students loved the hands-on part. The exit ticket gave me exactly the formative data I needed. Highly recommend.
Totally agree, the wrap-up is the strongest part.
