Regarding #1, OrigamiUSA actually has a fairly detailed description of how to rank the difficulty of a model for purposes of convention teaching. In some cases it’s still unclear and requires a judgment call, but usually it’s fairly easy with those criteria to figure out how to rank it. The page is a bit buried in the website, so here’s a direct link: https://origamiusa.org/difficulty <https://origamiusa.org/difficulty> Regarding #2, my experience is that in order to prepare, I need to sit down and fold the model at a regular pace on my own, clocking how long it takes me, then multiply that time by at least 3, and use that as a basis for determining the length of the class. So, if it takes me half an hour to fold on my own, I need at last two 45 minute periods to teach it—possibly more, if it’s got some tricky steps and it’s likely to appeal to people with less advanced folding skills. I hope this helps! Thanks, Matthew
