Tips to study
Making time to study
Before the course begins, please plan to set aside sufficient time to work on the course. You might be taking the course alongside your work, other studies, etc. so it's important that you treat this course as an important part of your weekly schedule and not an extra thing. Successful participants of online courses are those who dedicate time for study. For this particular course, you should plan to dedicate around 4 hours per week to go through the course lessons and complete the course activities. You may need less or more time, depending on your learning style and preferences.
Thank you for your interest in the course, and all the best!
