Timelines will vary from student to student, depending on when the course is started and how well (and quickly) new material is understood. Some lessons and units are longer than others because certain curricular outcomes require more instructional time. Some lessons require more review of previously-learned skills, while others require more practice of new skills.
The key to success is spending the amount of time you need in each unit to develop a solid understanding of each topic. Contact your teacher to discuss your timeline and any timeline adjustments you may need. It is okay (and encouraged) to ask for help and advice at any time!
