Ratings & comments
Used this with my class last week and it landed perfectly — the pacing is spot on and students stayed engaged the whole time.
Same here — back-to-back is the way to go.
Solid lesson. A couple of the materials were hard to source on short notice, but everything else was excellent.
Thanks, this is really helpful feedback.
