A little bit outdated with the latest UI in Figma. The estimated time to completion is underestimated if you expect students to read half of the readings suggested. Great selection of articles though.

This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
