Before Lesson 1
How it works
Learn at your pace, with notes on your work.
Feedback
When you finish a lesson, you make the homework and upload it to the course.
A working designer on the Jumpstart team looks at it and leaves plain, specific notes on the piece: what is working, and what to try next. Make a new version, upload it again, and see how far it has come.
The person who looks at your homework may be your teacher or another instructor. Either way, it is a real professional, not a forum and not a bot.
Time and pace
Start Here and Lesson 1 open the day you start. Lessons 2 to 8 then open one a week, at 9 am Central on the weekday you started. Nothing closes, so take the time you need.
