What is the weekly workload outside of class?

You should plan for 6–8 hours per week outside of scheduled class sessions. This time includes:

• Readings and videos to prepare for each week’s theme
• Hands-on tool practice to reinforce concepts introduced in lectures and labs
• Team project work applying weekly topics to your capstone business solution
• Portfolio-building assignments, such as dashboards, prompt libraries, or executive summaries
• Reflections and peer feedback to strengthen learning and collaboration

Work is designed to be practical and directly connected to your weekly lecture, lab, and capstone activities, so each task builds toward your final deliverables. Many assignments result in professional artifacts you can showcase to employers.
