Self-Reflection and Logging Your Work
~20 min
As we do at the end of every level, we ask that you take a few minutes to reflect on how things are going. That being said, you've almost completed Level 11. Tell me how it's going by completing the form linked below.
Synchronous Meet Up, AKA our Class Time
2 hours | November 9, 2020 @ 4pm Eastern
If you're an enrolled student, we'll be meeting at this link on Monday September 9 at 4pm via Zoom. If you don't have the password, and you are a registered student, DM me on Slack, and I can give you the password. If you're not an enrolled student, I'm afraid you can't join us.
This synchronous time will be split between our guest speaker and final project rounds. That is, we'll go around the class and check in with everyone about their progress on final projects. We'll also work to help folks strategize about next steps and overcoming any blockers.
† Time estimates are just that—estimates. The assumptions used to calculate reading time are as follows: 48 pages is assumed to take roughly an hour to read. When working with non paginated texts, it is assumed that a page is roughly equal to 250 words. Videos assume both 2X and 1X viewing. Estimates for coding are based on past experience. Each level should include about 6 hours and 40 min of work.
