How is "x hours to learn" measured? If I search for logistic regression, I get this page: http://www.metacademy.org/graphs/concepts/logistic_regressio... stating 1.7 hours - is that the estimated time to work through "Core resources", the "read" time + video length or something else?

Really exciting project, and very useful to me personally.

This is what wikiveristy should've been.

Good job guys.

If you look on the left, the learning plan shows that it would take 22 hours to complete from the bottom up. Logistic regression page just assumes you know all prior knowledge.
