What is the Workload?

The workload of the class is split into three main areas: Classwork, Homework, and the Final Project. In general, you should expect about 2 hours of out-of-class work for each class, totaling 4 hours per week. The out-of-class workload is meant to reinforce the learnings from the previous class, prompting class discussion and helping folks find real-world examples. On the other hand, the final project acts as a culmination of all the skills introduced in the class, putting it all into practice.

In class, you’ll be expected to follow lectures, taking relevant notes and answering questions. Classes also include guided code exercises, where we all make the same product to introduce implementation concepts. One-on-one support is always available!

There are two kinds of homework. The first is research-based. You’ll look for examples of what we discuss in class, write a few sentences, submit that to Blackboard, and present it in class. The other kind is independent code implementation practice.

The final project is the product of the second half of the course. You’ll work together in a group to design and code a single website and present your design thinking using the concepts from class.This site is
the product of one of those projects!

1 class equals 2 hours

For each class you can spend up to a total of two hours of outside work time!
