Add optional exercises at the end of each section #258

Open svenvanderburg opened 1 year ago

svenvanderburg commented 1 year ago

As a fast learner I want to have optional exercises/assignments at the end of each section.

When teaching this lesson in person (#159), we notice that some participants already finish a section when other participants are only halfway. We want everyone to start on a new section at the same time, so that we can also introduce some concepts for that section to everyone at the same time. It would be nice to have optional exercises/assignments at the end of each section for the fast learners.

We will likely try something out in our coming up workshop #259

We welcome contributions to optional exercises.

@anenadic in the meantime we successfully trialed having optional exercises at the end of each chapter. If you want I can add them to the material in the summer (then I have loads of time).

Yes, please! Much appreciated - will keep this issue open for a bit more then.
