Reasonably: There is some formative assessment included, but its usefulness is a bit limited

We don't tend to use it for this

Well: It’s fairly self-contained and can be used with minimal preparation

You still need to go through the lessons to check they cover what you need them to

Brilliantly: We’d have very few reservations about using this extensively to support home learning

It was very useful
