Students who normally disengage were arguing about the data by minute ten. I will take that.
Careful, accurate content — I checked the sources and they hold up. Refreshing for a shared lesson.
Ran it twice this term with very different groups and it held up both times. That is rare.
Glad it was useful. Let me know how the series goes.
