In you experience, that seems to be about the pace you are attempting and I wanted to get your thoughts on that. How much time per week are you committing to taking the courses? If you are able to complete them faster, could you add another course at that time, or do you have to wait until the next session to start again?
Time wise, I get around 5-7 hours a week on my commute and another 1-4 hours on the weekend. I'm listening to videos and turning articles into pdfs and listening to them on natural reader. 3 is very doable, I think I can get up to 4 or at least alternate between 3 and 4 each session. If I didn't have family obligations during the week and weekend, I could see doing 6 per session if I wanted to push it and possibly more if I wasn't working. The beauty is you can add courses any time during the session up to the last two weeks. So I completed all the courses sequentially one at a time and registered for the next just before I complete the previous one (there is a day or two lag between registering and having the course added, so I would add a course right around when I was starting the final project). Of course take this with a grain of salt, because I have only taken the first 3, and who knows what the others are like.
