'''Finding.''' Per the tracker's evidence, this is the lead entry for an extreme and unpredictable assignment workload documented across cohorts. Tracked separately: {{HU|HU-096a}} (weekly volumes of roughly 90 to 100 assignments, and up to 50 hours of classwork in a week, incompatible with the program's marketed flexibility and reported to prevent actual learning), {{HU|HU-096b}} (14 to 19 assignments posted and due the same evening with only hours of notice), and {{HU|HU-096c}} (students failed within the first three days of a class with no missing assignments, described as a weed-out structure). See each sub-issue for full evidence and standards.

'''Evidence.''' Source Group: Facebook Group Export (Volume 7).

'''Standards.''' See sub-issues.

'''Notes.''' One student reported the syllabus had not matched since the program started, meaning assignment volumes were not disclosed in advance. Split into lettered sub-issues 2026-06-06.
