2-4 hours per week. In our Gingerbread Cottage Building Class, learners will benefit from a structured mastery evaluation process to ensure they gain the most from the course. Here’s what you can expect: Estimated Time Commitment: The course is designed to be self-paced, with an estimated 3-5 hours of work per week. Most students can complete their gingerbread house in the 2-week support period, but they have access to materials for up to a year. Evaluation Form: Learners will receive a recipe that outlines key milestones and skills, such as mixing the dough, assembling the house, and decorating. This will help them track their progress and ensure they meet each learning goal. Feedback & Grading: During the 2-week period, learners can submit photos of their work for review by our expert chefs. Constructive feedback and suggestions for improvement will be provided to help refine their technique and creativity.Grading
