As planned
Open your Google Classroom
Open your MakeCode
Remind: A request to take serious attitude for classwork and homework, submit what you have done.
20-25 min
Mostly as planned, 1 student has already done it beforehand, 2 others take it as class work, but not finished after timeout, so need to spend extra effort after the course.

Good planning v.s. actual results
Very good practice of knowledge review and quiz
Well done with most planned knowledge points in the full learning package
Network broken in the last 9 minutes, so we lost the chance to finish everything as planned, need to pay attention to keep stable internet connection during the online course in the future
2 students didn't finish the Digital Counter for Task 2: A Counter with Fast Forwarding/Backwinding, so the tutor reconnect for an extended meeting to support them.
2 students asked for leave due to sick or activities, 1 student missed the course, a little hard to keep good participants rate now when going nearer to summer vocation, maybe next time we should end the learning package 1 week earlier
This is a log as information for today, no need to pay now. We will sum up all the costs to share after finishing the whole Learning Package.
Here is a guideline of cost/fee when learning with us.
3 students participated
The variable costs to share: 0 Kr
0 Kr: No snack this for online course
0 Kr: No tutor parking for online course
The fixed consuming materials costs: 20 Kr/student/session
20 Kr per student: Compensate the consuming cost of tools and materials for projects (like printed paper, stationery, cables, batteries, fragile components, etc.)
So, every participant pays: 20 Kr
