How the 18 modules fit a real school calendar.
9 weeks, modules 1-9. Covers money basics through reading real filings and stops before the advanced macro and derivatives material. This is the right plan if QuantAim is a unit inside a broader economics or personal finance course.

Running throughout: the Portfolio Simulator and the Live Market Classroom (Module 19) are not week-sized units — students keep a simulated portfolio for the whole course, and the Market Classroom refreshes daily from real market data. The Case Study Library (Module 20) is a bank you pull from, not a unit you schedule.
Adjusting: module sizes vary between roughly 8 and 10 lessons, so a week is a planning unit rather than a fixed workload. Modules 1–4 are the fastest; 5–9 are the ones classes most often want two weeks on.
