Description

@pekkalacd

I commented this on your original open-source-cs degree. I figured I'd do it for this one as well. Here is an example schedule broken up into terms inline with the prerequisites listed on the repo and an estimated time of completion.

Term Schedule Idea

Time Estimations: 66 weeks [~ 1.25 years]
  • This assumes that the user abides by each term and waits until the term is completed to assume the "cool off period" and does not continue onwards to the next semester.
  • This assumes max cool off period of 3 weeks is assumed by user in between terms.
