Rehearse using the worked notebook in a fresh Python 3.14 kernel before class. Distribute only the student files until learners have retained a first attempt. Both versions embed their runtime; no sibling book directory or live account is required. Preserve predictions, the highest hint used, changed-case results and actual time spent. Record understanding from explanations, not Run All success.
