Justification for the above scores

Group 1 did an excellent job with these questions and their explanations. They did have some difficulty displaying them in such a way that people could work them out in a lecture setting. Not a major issue though, and they probably didn't realise fitting the question and options on a single page would be important.

One aspect of the session that was particularly good

For the most part, the difficulty of the questions was spot on. Usually the majority of groups got them right, but it wasn't a case of everyone knowing the answer straight away, even top students were challenged at times.

One part of the session that could have been improved

The explanation of the 'this' keyword, though reasonably good in most respects, was backwards (for lack of a better word). As far as I remember it was explained that 'this' is used to refer to variables inside a method, so that you can differentiate between variables in the method and variables in the class. But 'this' actually refers to variables in the class. It's 'this' as in 'this object', not 'this' as in 'this method'.
