So far (Lecture 8), it has been a bit confusing to be left in ignorance of so many things that are actually required to complete the proposed exercises. For example, that B# is just a C but all letters must be represented on the scale, so you have to write it as so. Furthermore, the quizzes about the scales should be merged and appear only after the explanation of both of them, as the info passed on the Minor Scale lecture (Lecture 5) is indispensable for the Major Scales Quiz (Quiz 1). This is also the case for Quiz 3: Key Signature Quiz, which would be much easier after learning about the Circle of Fifths. Actually, that quiz contains information which was never explained and contradicts other sources, such as the questions about the correct order of flat and sharp scales, or how to guess the major relative of a minor scale (only the inverse is taught). This has been quite a confusing course so far, but the subject in itself is interesting and, compounded by extra research on other sources, it serves as a good summary of important concepts to consolidate one's knowledge and awareness of music theory.
