Isn't Lesson 2 a bit long?

The assignments for Lesson 2 are ridiculous. Questions 1.9-1.46? That's a lot of questions for one week, and some of those questions take a long time to do. Was that a mistake?

Yes, you're right. Mostly an oversight made in haste. It probably should be shortened. How many problems do you think should be in lesson 2? Should the whole thing be shortened, or would you like to see it cover the same material, but just do a smaller sampling of the problems for the assignment?

We can split apart 1.2 and 1.3 into two Lessons. Even then, the HW assignments would still be too long (section 1.2 seems to have 20 questions). Maybe you can do both: split the lessons into two lessons and assign a smaller sampling of the problems.

That's a good suggestion. I think I'll do both. I'll have an update on it soon.

Thanks again for the feedback. I've taken your advice and cut Lesson 2 down to just section 1.2, and the homework is only the odd problems. More info here.

I'll update Lessons 3 and 4 to reflect this change.
