Don't be worried of this sounds like a lot to cover in two days. We use teachable moments throughout the scenarios and debriefings after the scenarios to be sure that everyone understands what was done well and what can be improved on. The scenarios will become progressively more difficult, with the most difficult being the final scenario of the course. Evaluation is an ongoing process, so no need to be stressed out about a final exam.
