Frequently Asked Questions

Why calculate a daily study pace? +
Large courses (like a 40-hour coding bootcamp) can be extremely intimidating. By breaking it down into a daily digestible goal (like 1h 20m per day for 30 days), it becomes a manageable habit rather than an impossible mountain.
What if I watch at a faster playback speed? +
Great question! If you watch at 1.5x or 2x speed, your actual sitting time will be lower. You can use our Playback Speed Calculator to figure out your true time commitment.
