What is a Milestone?

Milestones are strategic checkpoints within a semester, designed to guide learners through their courses and projects in a structured manner. They serve as achievable goals, breaking down the learning process into manageable segments. Think of milestones as guiding markers on the educational journey, making the learning experience more focused and attainable
