What happens on a demo
It is a working session, not a slide deck. We take something real from your context and run the method on it while you watch and interrupt.
It takes about half an hour, and most of that is the material rather than the introduction.
What to bring
One genuine example — ideally the awkward one. A topic that is already going well demonstrates very little.
If you are not sure what to bring, think about the week before an exam, with four chapters still unread and pick whatever comes to mind first.
What you will leave with
A clear view of whether this fits your situation, including if the honest answer is that it does not.
You will also leave with the two questions the method turns on, which are useful whether or not you take it further: If this question appeared on the exam in a different form, would you still recognise it? and Which step in your working are you least able to justify?
What we will not do
No outcome will be promised, and no score predicted. What can honestly be described is the method and what the student can predict which part of a question is the trap looks like when it happens.
If you would rather read first, start with the advanced guide on question ladders, then a session on the paper you are preparing for.
