Week-long sprints for part-time students might be a little short. I am developing a product with teammates for a capstone project course. We are following agile methodologies and are required to do weekly stand ups. It is good to check in weekly, but to make significant progress in a week is challenging when some in the group have other responsibilities.
Each week we are required to put in at least ten hours of work. For me, ten hours is good to learn the basics of new technology, but probably not to develop a feature using that technology. Going forward I will recommend to my group that we do two-week sprints.
