The exercises are generally shorter and less complex than the problems, and can be used to develop proficiency in a topic in which students are expected to reach the standard of the problems. Where the level of the course dictates, the exercises can be used instead of the problems. The problems are longer and more complex in nature, requiring an in-depth understanding of the topic.
