Why does each lesson in a course ask us to make a separate workspace? I'm going to run out of workspaces soon. I've noticed this happening in the beginning Ruby courses and Javascript courses. Anyone else noticing this?

Also, you don't have to open a workspace on each lesson, so if the student didn't, and then decided 4 lessons in that they wanted to use the workspace for that lesson, they would have to recreate the files from the beginning, which isn't ideal.

Courses Plus Student 21,242 PointsYeah, I agree, for some of the courses it does seem odd. I think one reason may be because they have added so much in the previous lesson, and they want students to start with something that is guaranteed to work. I don't mind creating so many workspaces, but having a way to delete them more than one at a time would be nice.
