Course format and hours

The format of this course is online and asynchronous.

This course is 35 hours long. Be prepared to spend approximately seven hours per week completing learning activities, including readings, assignments, posting and responding to online group discussions, and other projects. 

In the final week, you’ll be invited to share your capstone project and connect with peers and facilitators in a live Zoom session (5:00–7:00pm on the last Tuesday of the course). You’re welcome to join either as a presenter or attendee who tunes in to celebrate others’ work. We just ask that you let us know in advance if you plan to present. Attendance is optional but highly recommended as an opportunity to reflect, exchange insights, and close the course together.
