I had just a few thoughts on this lesson, take them or leave them:
[ ] Would it be worth show another way to set a raster extent (e.g., show setting the extent with and without having to scale the data)?
[ ] Maybe we could try to bring it all together by saying that you are going to have to do this every time you try to look at a dataset, so you should always start by getting the required info when you load the data (e.g., xMin, yMin, etc.)
[ ] Kinda along the same lines - you could start the lesson by prefacing that these are the things we are going to need to get from the data in order to project a raster correctly in R: min/max X/Y, extent, etc. I think a bit more focus on the fact that these are needed by R, as it is not inherently a spatial application, might help people initially understand why they need to do all of this stuff.
