Pro Tip
Pro tip for teachers: When you are planning to show a movie or part of a movie in class on your laptop (because your school doesn’t have in class computers), make sure that your battery is fully charged and that you have brought the power cord. Fortunately I was planning on only showing the first hour of the movie and managed to get past the parts for discussion questions before the battery died at 56 minutes.
Pro-tip for students: don’t sleep in class when the teacher is showing a video. You will be unable to discuss the questions which were distributed in advance. The video was even paused breifly before the appropriate section in order to help you focus. If you plan on failing class this is a good way to procede.
