I'm planning to teach the class a second time. Things that could be done better the second time:

talk slower
announce the class 2-3 weeks ahead of time — a week's notice isn't enough
create an actual flyer — just to convey to people how much time I put into the class
create a Facebook event — sometimes people want to invite their friends to the event, and that can't happen if you just do a post on your own wall
class content improvements
- put a little more time into the handout pamphlet — put it in order, remove extraneous stuff, and make sure some important knots are there
- have the part of about knots a little better planned out, so I don't skip all over
  - the term "slip knot" can refer to either a "sliding knot" or a "knot that has been slipped", and show the difference
  - round turn and two half-hitches
  - clove hitch ⇒ buntline hitch, constrictor knot
  - lark's head ⇒ that cable-lacing knot; gets used in bondage a lot
  - figure eight ⇒ Stevedore knot, figure eight follow-through
