Between instructional content, quizzes, projects, and other course-related activities, we recommend allocating 10-15 hours a week for learning.

Your Session Leads are there to help you successfully progress through your track from enrollment straight through to graduation. The Session Leads are the person who will be conducting your periodic connect sessions. They will answer your questions, help you overcome any technical challenges, point you to helpful resources and give you guidance to complete the program successfully. Once you are enrolled in your track, you will receive an email informing you about your Session Lead. You can also know more about your Session Lead, among other session details, from your classroom.

Udacity Connect sessions are focused on delivering three key benefits:

- Collaboration: You'll have the opportunity to work with your Session Lead and peers to complete projects, overcome challenges, and master new concepts.

- Accountability: You'll benefit from check-ins with your Session Lead, who will help you with goal-setting, time management, and motivation.

- Efficiency: By attending your connect sessions and spending around 10 - 15 hours per week on your independent study, you will successfully complete your track just in time.

You must reach out to your session lead in advance on Slack to inform him that you will not be able to attend your session, as the Session Lead is responsible to track your attendance. If you have already missed your connect session, please reach out to your Session Lead immediately with a clear explanation of why you did so and why you were not able to inform him of this in advance of the session. The Periodic connect sessions are very important and are considered one of the main pillars of the program. Missing sessions might cause you to fall behind and could put your enrollment in jeopardy. Connect Sessions are mandatory, and we strongly encourage you to attend them.

Udacity Connect Sessions will take place on the same day and time periodically. Attending Connect Sessions is a mandatory part of participating in the program and failure to keep up with attendance will put you at risk of losing your Nanodegree. The exact timing for your weekly sessions will be shared with you at the beginning of your track via email and will also be available on your classroom home page in your classroom card.

Every time you submit a project, you will receive personalized feedback on your project submission from one of our expert human project reviewers. They will not only tell you what you got right and wrong but they will also provide some guidance on what you should try next and give suggestions on how you can go even further with your project. Once your review is ready, you will get an email notification which you can follow to the review.

There are three results for the review:

1- Meets Specifications: This means you passed your project as you met all requirements.

2- Requires Changes: This means that you failed your project. However, the reviewer will highlight which part that requires to be edited so that you pass the project on your next submission. You can resubmit your project again after editing it through your classroom.

3- Ungradable: This means that the reviewer was not able to grade your project. This could be because you either submitted the wrong files or the files submitted can not be opened because they are in an unsupported format. You can resubmit your project again from your classroom after addressing these issues.
