We use "loss" to refer to the loss on a single example. "Average loss" seems like a reasonable synonym for empirical risk, but "loss" by itself can be confusing. We always call the thing we're minimizing the "objective function". Sometimes we call it the loss, but that's confusing things.

Issues are in the skeleton code, the homework assignment statement, and also heavily in the homework solutions (plots, etc).

Also - drop all references to "iteration" in coding part. use the terminology "step" and "epoch". Iteration is confusing and ambiguous.
