Four quick questions about Real Python's upcoming cohort-based courses

Thank you for joining the information session on our new cohort-based courses, which we plan to launch soon. Would you be able to spare another couple of minutes for a few follow-up questions?
There is a short description of the course's content and format below to serve as a reminder of the key points discussed in the live session. The survey includes just four questions and will only take a couple of minutes to complete. Your feedback will help shape the future of Real Python courses.
This eight-week course is designed for learners who are already familiar with the Python basics and are ready to take a deeper dive into Python’s core topics.
The first part of the course is based around Python's data model. It presents objects not solely as a tool in one of programming's paradigms, object-oriented programming (OOP), but as central to everything in Python. This section deals with OOP, and with several special methods and how they relate to operators, Pythonic looping, and data structures.
The course then moves on to deal with advanced function topics, including dealing with parameters, scoping, closures, and decorators.
Finally, the course covers some intermediate level data structures.
The eight-week course is led by one of Real Python's core team members and includes:
• Daily learning materials delivered through Real Python's video courses and written tutorials.
• Flexible scheduling so you can complete the tasks at your own pace throughout the day. You'll need a daily commitment of around 60-90 minutes throughout the course.
• A 90-minute live session every week on Zoom, led by your Real Python instructor. The live lesson will enable a deeper dive on the week's topics, hands-on exercises, and plenty of time for discussion and for your questions.
• Hands-on exercises to apply what you’ve learned, and a final project to combine the course material into one application.
• A dedicated forum where you can engage with peers, ask questions to your instructor, and get feedback on the exercises.
• Office hours, also live on Zoom, to get more direct support and guidance from your instructor. These are live unstructured sessions where cohort students can join to ask any questions or join in the discussions from other students' questions. There will be two one-hour sessions each week.
There are ten students in each cohort group.
