• Blessed are the Merciful: I keep getting requests to “go light” on the grading. This is how I did it myself.

Note: this is an update from an earlier lecture, which actually combines two lectures as well. Some new equipment was used; however, the “live screen” method didn’t quite work out, which meant that I ended up putting the slides in the video during video editing. Since I point to the slides from time to time, this may end up with some awkward moments. I apologise for any inconvenience.
