Mike,
I appreciate the feedback. If I have been going a little too fast the
last two weeks, then I need to hear from people in the class so that I
can adjust accordingly.
Whether I have been pushing too much can be judged by a simple
criterion: You should spend no more than 12-15 hours per week to learn
the material and do the required work for this course. (This is about
1/4 of a full course load.)
I will delay the due date of the implementations from Friday to Monday.
Assaf
