I often worried about it, but in this particular class, I was the only one 
who handed in the first homework on time, with about 80% of the class 
admitting they hadn't even started, so I wasn't too concerned that it was 
too easy.

That was the one where I'd gotten f'ing sick of all the tedium of 
programming, and put off the first 4-week homework assignment until about 5 
hours before the class started.  Led to surprisingly modular code. ;-)

There have also been times in (say) math classes where I just completely 
skip a question, and the prof doesn't count it off, because it's not there 
at all to grade. I try to correct such problems, but only once. If the prof 
insists he counted right, I'll only point out the problem the first time. :-)
