I’m not sure how Kent went about it in the course, so there could be a better solution here, but I would probably just add an extra edge loop in the flat area around each cut so that the smooth shading isn’t trying to blend with a face that’s far away. Since the rest of the area is flat and there are n-gons anyway, it could just be one big n-gon, but that’s up to you.
