For the students I teach (who are almost as disorganised as I am) I aim to
give evrything out at the beginning when possible. Anything from zero to
twelve sheets per session could be appropriate

Student feddback gives the student view; but assessing actual quality is
impossible unless you know whether they have been used!

No.

Yes, for students who miss lectures for whatever reason.

Alwats spellcheck tour handouts :) An interesting question; students are
certainly putting on the pressure here for more handouts, possibly as an
alternative to having to do any work themselves...
