- Students will have six (6) weeks to complete this course. It compacts an entire semester into six (6) weeks, and it takes students, on average, 15 hours per week to complete the work before the final. Students must take the final before they can receive a grade for the course.
- When a student completes a section of the course, the teacher will unlock the next section for the student to proceed. This ensures that students follow the correct pathway through the materials.
