[SUGGESTION] Challenges after every course

So I have learned a lot of things on and off of treehouse and something I always struggle with is coming up with a project to practice the new skills I have learned.

I think a good idea would be to post little challenges for each course available on treehouse, but not just one for each one, a few.

For example, let's say you just completed the HTML and CSS basics, give the learner a set of website briefs and let them design a website using the new skills they just learned with content already there for them, all they need to do is the HTML and CSS and create a website to their liking.

What do people think?

That's a lot of what they're doing with the Techdegree. There's projects with a rubric and you get peer reviewed and it goes pretty deep into what you've been learning in a real world context.

Shame they won't add it for the rest of us I guess then :/ well unless they consider it and actually do!

I have been using Udemy and lots of other sites a lot recently to go more in depth and get more challenges recently as I haven't found treehouse goes that in depth to cover everything you need to do x,* y* and z as well as being able to see real world examples and get more challenges out of this
