Awesome! I signed up last August for the self-paced version of the software engineering course. It's all online, and I definitely have learned a lot! I'm finishing up the last section now, then I'll be on to my final project!

That's awesome! I'd love to see it once you're finished. When you signed up for the self-paced, what was that like? Did you do this full-time at home?

So I obviously signed up last summer, before I knew if schools would be open (I have 2 young kids), and before there were vaccines and everything where I live had juuuust opened back up. So I chose the self-paced over the part time program, because it's the most flexible option. I did all of the coursework online (for several months, at the dining room table alongside my 2 kids). I was able to attend zoom sessions with instructors to get answers to questions and advice on projects, and there are opportunities for social interactions as well. There is a slack workspace, and lots of workshops, talks, and social zooms.
