While it may seem like a lot, it is repetitive as it reinforces the concepts.
And, as a legalist, I have to proffer that the reading the number of pages was mandated and therefore we must follow the specified requirements to hold true to the state's needs. That is the way of truth, knowledge and enlightenment -- follow your leaders.

I do love the idea of having the students form groups and present their arguments, as we will do in our class.
Although the master may disagree with my school of thought.
