Class with my instuctor's teacher and former assistant instructor, too

- Various kicks

- Self-defense techniques

- Sparring exercises

- "Ki Cho" exercises (We move forward as a line, but there's calling out to us, based on belt level, the two-three moves we're to make with each call)

- Forms

I have two problems with Ki Cho exercises. The first is that, if there's a background noise (in this case, heat by air duct), it's hard for me to hear the calls, which are in Korean. The second is that it takes me extra time, and usually an extra call, to process what was said.

I double-checked with my instructor's teacher about the second half of Pyung Ahn E Dan, although my teacher is only holding me accountable for the first half (as this hyung is no longer a requirement at my level; it's been bumped up to a higher one). I do know the moves (but I'm not proficient with them) in my self-study of the rest of the form. When my instructor returns and teaches it to me after testing, I want to discuss bunkai I'm sure I've found in that second half.
