FAQ

What if it is too much content to cover?

We fully understand this concern! Usually, the input sessions cover quite a vast range of topics, as there is only one regular class per week. The idea for the regular class is to give an idea of the concepts and an introduction to how to get started with the concept. The students dive deeper into the concepts by working with them during the weekly milestones. The students can get support in Practice Sessions and coaching if a concept is unclear.

What if I didn't manage to cover all the content?

This happens! You can share the respective resources in Gitbook with the students to help them review the concepts that weren't covered. Furthermore, the recap week offers space to review concepts that need more clarification.
