We provide a suggested course schedule to help pace yourself. Students who follow this schedule are more likely to earn the certificate and get more out of the course by spreading out their workload, and our instructors often provide weekly nudges to keep you on track.

For example, you might do all your work over the weekend or space it out throughout the week.
