There are a lot of art projects to do, however if you stay on top of them you will be fine. In a condensed term, there was one short essay, visual journal projects and reflections, portfolio projects, and a unit+lesson plan assignment that you can do in a group. For the visual journal and portfolio, there was one assignment each per week. You didn't necessarily have to have them done that week though. First three weeks of assignments were given a due date halfway through the course, the rest were due on the last day of classes. Patti is a very knowledgeable and kind instructor. If you can take the course with her, it's worth the work.
