Interesting and fun

Informations were well explained and easy to follow and kristi succeed it to built a good enery and rapport with us- the students. One small sugestion i have: i understand that the number of participants is high ( we were 94 people last time) and it's a good opportunity to create contacts between us, but i think it would be mor efficient if we would be let to practice in room at least two times with the same collegue.. it's a little bit difficult to establish rapport, to understand eachother's goals and motives and style when we "jump" on a new person after each exercise. Establishing contacts is possible anyway on the platform. Therefore, maybe we could perform and understand better the exercises if we practice with/ and on the same person at least twice. Possibly i am wrong, still ..this is my sugestion. Thank you
