More than a video, you'll learn hands-on coding & quickly apply skills to your daily work. --- Hi, My name is Chester, and I'll guide you through this lesson that focuses on the process of course design.

You'll meet weekly with your CL to check-in and discuss progress. This is where you will set the scope of your course. A rubric containing the criteria used to assess your content exists in your course repo. Please review this often. You'll first set the high-level vision for your course and determine the cour
