3. Do I have a limited time to complete the Course?

  • No–If you spend 15 hours a week you could feasibly complete the Course in "ten weeks". If you spend 5 hours per week, your completion time is more like 30 weeks. What is more important than the length of time it takes to finish the Course is the quality of your attention given to the Course–it's better to slow down and enjoy the journey than to focus on reaching a destination in an unrealistic timeframe.
