I do this one but a two year course and it really depends on your school. As long as it's sent in by just before you do your exams whenever. Once you get the fundamentals in Python, it's quite easy. The programs don't matter as such as it's heavily based on the descriptions, testings and all the areas you would write about. With two hours a week, it took my class about seven or eight months (From July 2014 to about February 2015)
