...By the way, just as an aside, any "exercise" I have written about in the past or might write about in the future is purely discretionary. We're all adults here. I'm not saying that everyone "should" do anything, or that anyone needs to do it; I'm not even claiming that everyone who does do it will reap benefits and dividends from the experience and be better off for it. (Because how would I know?)
Any of these things are only suggestions. Evaluate them for yourself; if they don't appeal, pass on by. There's no one-size-fits-all way of learning photography. All of us are different (at least somewhat different) and have different aims, aptitude and concerns.
They just exercises. Like practice. They're designed to be useful, and for many people they can be, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating. I really don't mind at all if anyone follows the old adage "suit yourself"!

So that means they won’t be included on the final exam?

Ahem!
"the proof of the pudding is in the eating", is the correct quotation, I believe.
And my wife is SURE!
