This is so great. Students asked about this and I had a hunch you’d have some material. I didn’t guess it would be this extensive and save me again.
I am not kidding. Right now I am setting my alarm back to the original time because I don’t need to spend an extra hour on this in the morning.
Glad to be of help!
