After getting this question wrong, I went back and reviewed the Introduction details for this course and could not find any mention of personal projects. I have been in other classes, discussions and webinars before where personal projects took up so much of the session that the rest of the group was left wanting.
I admire IPVM's willingness to encourage personal project discussion. I do think that the answer of "keep it brief" should also be considered as a "correct" answer. I guess I just hate to be "wrong" haha.
