New to Preplounge, how do back-to-back meetings work?

meetings

Most recent answer on Jun 30, 2019

gave the best answer on Jun 30, 2019

Hi, That's exactly it. You will each learn+prepare a separate case and give it to each other. It's a really great way to learn - you learn a lot not just from receiving a case, but by giving one as well!
