I love the idea and overall concepts that you've given here. I tend to agree with what's been said that it seems pretty fast. I think that you might want to look at removing 8 & 9 and extending some of the other ones. Maybe leave those there for the students that are ahead. Or maybe have the last day be a "free-for-all" day where you can let them do whatever they want. And offer up 8 & 9 as suggestions to get them started. I would also take the time to talk about file formats and their differences when you get to exercise 6. A lot of people don't know when you should use what type. But overall I'm jealous and wish I could be doing it!
