You'll want to make sure that you cover all the material in this chapter and that you have a good understanding of it before you move on. In general, you want to try and have just one expectation for each of your examples. It is possible to have more than one and you will see people violate that from time to time, I certainly do, but the reason why you want to have one per example is because if you have more than one, then you're only going to see the first failure.
