The course has been designed for you to work through at your own pace. There is a short introduction video followed by 7 units, which are each around 50 minutes long. Each unit contains one or two short exercises, making each unit last around one hour. At the end of each unit there is a writing assignment, which should take around one hour with additional time for research.
