Nope, you're not slow at all - I have never got through an entire unit

with more than they came with :)
As soon as we say, "Here's our lesson, we're devoting half a day to
this," we create the expectation that learners ought to be able to get
through all the material in that time; if they don't, they feel like
they've fallen short. This has come up in feedback from a couple of
recent workshops, which is why I'm in favor of culling material (moving
stuff to shell-extras, for example). Doing a better job of collecting
timing info from instructors would also help, but we've been saying that
for a while...
Thanks,
Greg
