That would be a possibility, but part of the attraction (for me, and I suspect for the students) is the idea that we’re giving them time they would have otherwise spent on school instead of just cutting into their free time. Still, it might be better than nothing.

Why not try it on a weekend Nick? Maybe 2 weeks before finals – because there won’t be an exam and nobody will be craming yet. Start Friday night and then have presentations on saturday evening. No classes to worry about and no tests…
