Weeks

Every week we cover a different topic. Our week begins on Wednesday when we have the global class. Here, Neil gives us a general overview about the topic of the week. Then, on Thursday and Friday, we have local classes. Here, our instructors go more in-depth on whichever topic we are learning. On selected Mondays, we have recitations. Here, Neil brings in experts to give us classes on different, but related topics. On Wednesdays, we have a global review, where Neil uses a random generator to call different people from the FabAcademy global network to present what they did the previous week. The rest of the days we use them to work on assignments, documentation, or our final project. Here is my documentation for each week:
