Online Course Structure

You receive a problem solving challenge and have some time to hack away at it. You can get in touch with your fellow classmates to try to solve the challenge together or you can try figuring it out independently. Then the instructor will go over the solution with you.
An instructor reviews the activity from the previous day’s lesson. They show different approaches to solve the activity and explain their way of thinking.

You are given an activity to do, and you have time to work on it and practice the concepts taught in the morning lecture. Blocked on an exercise? Jump on a pair- or mob-programming video to troubleshoot.
