The only thing I would recommend as a non-Indian attendant, is for all the passages that are going to be commented during the class to be circulated in advance. With the Natyashastra it was easier to keep the pace, but with Shakuntalaat at times I was a little behind. I can both read devanagari and understand Sanskrit, but just not as fast. Being able to take a look at the relevant passages beforehand really helps.
