For Students
Do I need specific requirements on my computer?
- CPU: A modern (2018 or newer) 64-bit CPU, ideally a 9 th through 12 th generation Intel (Core i5, i7, i9; Xeon) or equivalent AMD chips (Ryzen 9, Ryzen 7)
- Pentium and Celeron CPUs probably won’t be good enough to run multiple VMs well.
- RAM: At least 16GB. The more the better if you intend to continue into the professional follow-on micro-internship courses, as these use virtual machines.
- OS: Windows 11 or Windows 10 -Professional preferred (not Home).
- SSD/Disk: At least 1TB if continuing into professional level courses. These require various VMs that are large.
Is there other equipment I need?
- Large screen size at least 15in or a desktop monitor. Your equipment will require a camera and mic pickup (laptop camera and mic are fine).
When does class meet and how long?
- Meetings and open office hours for Q&A are online nominally Monday through Friday 4pm-5:30pm Pacific time for the first 3 weeks and then continuing for students who will be moving on into professional level follow-on courses.
How much time outside of class should I expect to spend on coursework?
- Expect to spend an additional 2.5 hours daily outside of class meeting times on course work at least for the first 3 weeks, and expect for that to continue until the end if you are motivated to maximize learning and are interested in professional level follow-on courses.
