Time and Page Estimates

Students in the Fall pilot version reported 10-15 hours spent on a typical project, including programming and writing. As can be seen in the sample projects, a 12-15 page project writeup is often appropriate.

Hooray!

There are many choices of high-quality resources! You're not helpless...

Bruce Nauman, 1988
