It looks OK to me although if you're going to point students at it I might suggest moving the "don't look here!" stuff elsewhere ;) Also as I believe I mentioned before, FILESEXTRAPATHS adds not just one directory but an "entire list of directories" is it allows bbappend file path behaviour to match that of the recipe itself.
