Can we submit more than one assignment at a time? I feel we can learn a lot faster this way.

On the Cattle Drive we tackle one assignment at a time, working on it until we get it perfect. Then we go on to the next assignment, employing what we've learned so far. Most nitpickers will just ignore out-of-sequence submissions without comment.
When I went through the Cattle Drive, I worked on assignments way ahead of my nitpicker, then each reply I got, I'd fix the future assignments too, so they'd be ready to go when the time came.
And all the learning doesn't come from just getting each assignment to work. Don't underestimate the learning value of careful code review, like you get from nitpicking. Those who work hard to implement all the suggestions will learn far more than they bargained for.

Hi Jc Cook ,
Of course, I learnt a great deal from your code review. For example Hundred.java was such a small program that I didn't bother with performance issues like 100 array derefrences and string concat. Thanks to nitpicker, I realized that careful coding has to be implemented at every step.
Moreover, I agree recurrence of mistakes can be avoided. So on the whole I agree that more than one assignments can be done at a time but post to the nitpicker only one at a time.
Thanks once again to nitpickers team.
Bye
