This is extremely practical information and was delivered well. For the overall coursework, it would be very helpful to me to see the Length of Time on the courses/videos so that I can plan my studying better. I prefer to study each topic in one sitting in order to keep all of those thoughts together, but if I don't know how long the videos are, I can't tell if I have enough time to complete a given topic before I have to go do something else.
