There are two types of exercises: first of all, exercises to match the lessons (called Lesson 1.1, Lesson 1.2, etc) where you can "follow along" with the instructor or the workbook, and also Skill Sharpeners, where you are given exercises that will reinforce your learning. These all correspond exactly to the manual. So remember to download them, and the manual, from the "Introduction" module at the start of the course. People tell us that the Skill Sharpeners are a real bonus!
