speed-vs-smoothness

hi guys,
my teacher is trying to get me to learn my lessons (etudes) in smallers chunks. i like his example that if he were to give me a whole chapter to learn there would probably be a lot of things i would forget, but if he gave me just a paragraph at a time, after several weeks i would know the chapter better than if i did it all at once.

that being said, i did what he said, learing 2 measures at a time. in a weeks time i have 3 lines sounding quite well except i cant play them at the speed that is indicated. in fact, i am no where near that speed.

my lesson got cancelled this week so i get to work on it some more. do you guys think i should try to get these 3 lines faster, or add another 3 lines for next week but play them at a slow speed? i am unsure what my teacher will be expecting.

thanks
jan
