    Feedback Process

    • Teams present their session storylines to "partner teams" for feedback on topic selection, structure, transitions, and method choices.
    • Feedback is recorded on Post-its and attached to flipcharts for reference.

    Reflection

    • Students are encouraged to reflect on which aspects of planning their session were easy and which posed challenges.

    • Students are also prompted to develop relevant questions for online check-ins to address the remaining challenges.
