Estimated time for Full-Stack Techdegree

Hi. I'm thinking of signing up for the JS full-stack techdegree. The information says expect it to take approx 321 hours. Can anyone help with clarifying if that is 321 hours PLUS the time spent on the 12 projects (about 250 hours altogether according to the website).

Thanks! Jeremy

If I understand correctly, there's a minimum time between projects. Depending on your study schedule, this might be more significant than the hours in establishing the completion time.

The hour estimates are just basic guidelines, even the video play time can be altered with the speed control.

I think there is a minimum 1 week between project submissions, so the course be done in 12 weeks. But I'm wondering if the total study time is 321 hours plus the time for the 12 projects, or 321 hours including the time spent on the projects.
