How Much Time Will You Spend Per Week in This Course?
This is the most popular question that I get. The honest answer is I don't have a clue. The reason is that all of you are different in the way that you learn. Some of you will need more time than others, and some will need less. But, if I really needed to put an amount of time to this, I would say you will spend 2 to 4 hours per week in this course outside of class.
