View source for Lesswrongwiki:Sequence Post Exercises

This page documents [http://lesswrong.com/r/discussion/lw/536/open_thread_april_2011/3ti1 the ongoing project proposed by folkTheory]: to create exercise sets for each applicable post in the [[Sequences]] for readers to test and expand their understanding.

So as to avoid duplication of effort in the carrying-out of this project, this page will list all posts in the Sequences for which a member of the Less Wrong community has taken charge of exercise creation. They will do so by posting a new list item with their name and their chosen post. Those volunteering to be betas (i.e. test readers) for any given exercise may indicate their intentions to do so in a sublist. When the exercises are finished, the Less Wrong member in charge will edit their list item to include a link to the new exercises post.

=Guidelines & Suggestions=
* Authors:
** Avoid "forward links" i.e., links to material a first time reader wouldn't have reached yet. The idea is to make the exercises self-contained. You read an article and do the exercises, without spawning a million tabs in the process.
** Provide answers in a comment on the post. If an exercise does not have a single correct answer, provide the answer you would give if you were completing the exercise.
* Beta readers:
** PM your contact info to the author, so that they can send you their drafts more easily.
