Add more complex and interesting challenges

Hi guys, I'm a new learner here, and I'm enjoying learning code... First of all, I want to thank you for such a great source to learn code. Treehouse is amazing.

But I noticed that challenges and quizzes are really short, easy and obvious. I mean, it is not really challenging to pass them and almost no practice.

I wish it would be more challenging to pass the challenges, more "deep and complex", more practice and interactivity. Maybe some kind of guided practice, for example: given template and you have to do exactly the same.

Workshops are great, but they are too short.

I hope Treehouse team will add more challenges and we will practice more.

What do you think?

I tend to create projects for myself outside of school/treehouse. This is where I get most of my practice in. Also, if they are too easy then maybe you should skip ahead a little. Some of the intro courses are meant to be very easy. This keeps from discouraging students.

Yes, I agree with you about the practice. But why not make all students no need to practice outside Treehouse? Built-in course mini-projects and templates (HTML, CSS)which we have to recreate in order to complete the Treehouse courses, will only strengthen learning and add more practical knowledge and debugging skills.
