Week 4gave you a chance to move from pictures to normal interfaces. Yes, it was a lot of work but we have to move at a speed allowing to acquire the necessary skills for the real workplace programming. Week 5 will be easier allowing understanding the interface better and thinking your projects over again not to waste the semester effort for something which is too trivial or what you cannot possibly complete.
The grades for week 4 reflected some deductions. T4.1 used deductions for trivial repetition of the already existing textbook page/code. T4.2 had a requirement of using ALL Swing controls from chapter 4 and the deductions were made for not doing it. Incomplete projects without proper description also led to the point deduction. The discipline of doing all the tasks and deduction punishment is necessary, first of all, for you. If you start running behind the schedule of learning than the amount of accumulated work toward the end of the semester will be so high that you will not be able to complete the course. But if to do every week all the tasks on the proper level - then the increments are not that big and the course will feel much easier.
