Does anyone have any recommendations on how much time to set aside a week on average? Time management will be key for me as I have a full time job and will be doing some side work as well for a second company. I will be taking one class at a time. I saw something on RateMyProfessor where someone said they needed 30 hours a week for a single class? but then some make it seem like this is a breeze through program. Starting Summer AP2 in FIN 701 with Kim Sung

There's no average. However, here's a Google Sheet updated by people on this list that contains estimates for each class/professor: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oJN52sM55sb21yfWDoIQNYPjb0FwWI3IOFX6GfnuSrc/edit#gid=547681192

Pick wisely and it's not too bad. Pick poorly and you'll regret it for that session.

And since you have a real job plus a side gig, I would not recommend doubling up on any classes.

I just paired with a 40 hr + work week, had ZERO life. I took Sung, would say he's the best of the Finance professors. His materials are straight forward and relevant with no busy work.

Hey guys, I was wondering for those of you who took James Gibbs for ISDS 705 are the review questions sufficient enough to pass his quizzes, or should I dwell deeper into the text?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

One class at a time shouldn't be difficult. I'm easily 60+ hours a week at work, have three kids (8, 6 and 1.5) and make it work. Some classes require more time than others. This isn't the kind of program where you can come in with work experience and expect to fake your way through every class.

You're not going to have a lot of extra time for Netflix and hanging out.
