    "**b)** Some of the homeworks involved slamming up against some computational roadblocks, from tough optimization problems to Stan sampling. In other parts of the homeworks, I gave you tips and watchouts. You will hit those roadblocks in the future, and my hope is that having encountered them in class, they will not be so bothersome. How do you feel about this amount of admittedly painful challenges? Should I have given more watchouts and built more of the code structure for you, should I have given you less tips and let you hit more roadblocks, or was it about right?\n",
    "\n",
    "**c)** On the other hand, I worked to abstract away too much grungy work. Most of the `bebi103` package is meant to help you avoid doing parsing and be able to write declarative code. How do you feel about this? Should I have facilitated more or less, or what is about right?"
