At least 20 to 30 a week, for about 10 weeks of class. Some weeks were more, and I remember plenty of days where we had 20 problems assigned a day.

Indeed, I am a huge fan of "the best way to learn math is to do hundreds upon hundreds of problems", because IMHO some concepts just require massive amounts of repetition.
