Combine Modes and Review Your Progress

Combine Modes for Your Needs

Choose a mode for the difficulty in front of you, work on that, and decide what you need afterward.

Here are some common combinations:

What you need	A combination to try
Clear up a question, then practice	Q&A → Flashcards
Get help reading the tutorial	Guided Study → Active Recall
Organize confusing relationships, then explain them	Mind Map → Feynman Technique
Explain the reasons for an answer you can already choose	Socratic Method → Flashcard scenario questions

The arrows show a learning sequence. To change modes, click × beside the current mode, return to general conversation, and choose the next one.

Use these combinations as starting points. Partway through Active Recall, you might realize that the concept itself is unclear. Switch to Q&A, clear it up, and come back to the answer. If the problem is already resolved, you can stop there instead.

An Example

Suppose you are studying the water cycle in a science course. After reading, you still have trouble telling evaporation and condensation apart.

Use Q&A to clear up the difference.
Choose Active Recall, explain the difference without looking, and fill any gaps using feedback.
If you want to check the ideas in different everyday situations, try a few flashcards.
If you are unsure whether you need more practice, ask Progress Check to review your answers so far.

Looking back at those steps, each has a particular job. If you can explain the distinction clearly after step two, you can finish there.

Understanding Your Progress

Open Learning progress to view what you need:

Item	What it mainly tells you
Chapter flashcard practice	How many cards you have answered correctly in the current chapter and how many more are required
Course flashcard practice	How many chapters have met their flashcard requirement
Learning status	Your current understanding of the chapter's learning topics, with feedback
Progress report	Progress, difficulties, and suggestions from a period of learning in this chapter

Each measure tracks something different. The flashcard count increases only for correct flashcard answers. The connections in a mind map, an explanation you gave, and your responses to follow-up questions can inform learning status and reports.

After reaching the flashcard target, you can keep practicing explanations or applications, or choose the next chapter when you are ready.

How to Generate a Progress Report

Open the report menu at the top right of the Learning progress panel, then choose “Generate progress report.” If a report already exists, you can choose to view it.

Top of the AI coach: [Learning progress icon]
                           ↓
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ← Learning progress      [Status] [Report]   │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────┘
                                    ↓ Select the document icon
                    ┌──────────────────────────────┐
                    │ Generate progress report     │
                    │ View progress report         │
                    └──────────────────────────────┘

Whether the two options are available depends on whether you meet the generation requirements and whether a report already exists.

To generate a report:

Complete at least ten full exchanges in the current chapter’s teaching modes.
Have available AI credits and access to the current course.
Wait for any reply, chapter switch, data cleanup, or similar operation to finish.

One exchange means one message from you followed by one complete AI reply. Only complete exchanges in the current chapter’s teaching modes count. General conversation, General Assistant, and other lessons are excluded.

Once the report is ready, read it as a written review of this period of learning: the progress you made, the gaps that remain, and possible next steps. It uses written feedback only. New practice or a later report gives you another chance to check your understanding.

Anyone with access to the current course can use reports once the generation requirements are met. Follow the interface message if a condition needs attention or generation fails. When credits run out, you can keep reading tutorials and revisiting saved records. You can use features that need a new AI reply once credits are available.

Share your answers, explanations, and reasons as you learn. They give the report specific work to review.

Modes, Tiers, and the General Assistant

A teaching mode determines how you learn in this interaction. An AI tier affects capability, response speed, and credit use. For tier selection and checking your balance, follow AI tiers and credits.

General conversation answers questions about the course and other one-off requests; General Assistant keeps outside tasks in a separate thread. Neither counts toward flashcard progress, learning status assessment, or report requirements. Click × to ask directly again or choose a teaching mode for practice; see choosing a learning mode for the distinction.

What to Do After a Review

A review only needs to answer three questions:

What can I now explain or do correctly on my own?
What is still unclear?
What one thing should I work on next?

You might arrive at this: “I can define evaporation and condensation, but I still mix them up in everyday situations. Next, I'll answer a scenario question and explain why.” A concrete observation like that is enough to decide what to practice next.

To change chapters, open the chapter list or use the previous- and next-chapter controls. The AI may suggest a change; you select the chapter yourself.

Learning records stay in the current browser. Before changing devices, looking for earlier records, or clearing data, read learning record management to understand the three cleanup options.

If you cannot generate a report or see a message about an unmet requirement, follow the troubleshooting guide. Keep your existing conversations and records.

To continue studying, return to the current chapter, check the goal, and choose the step you need now.
