07 Diagnosis and Learning Reports
This guide closes the learning loop. Use Diagnosis when you are unsure what to do next, and use Learning Reports after you have built up learning history.
What You Will Complete in This Lesson
This lesson explains when to use the two review tools: when you are unsure about the next step, use Diagnosis; for Learning Reports, use them after you have a period of learning records.
You should know when to check state, and when Diagnosis and Learning Reports are each appropriate.
7.1 Checking State Is Not the First Step in Learning
Some new learners immediately want to check:
How am I doing?
Can I generate a report now?But if you have not read the tutorial, not asked questions, not answered flashcards, and have not expressed your own understanding, the system has little basis to judge.
State checking needs evidence. In DeepDojo.AI, evidence comes from:
- Which lessons you have read.
- What questions you have asked.
- Which flashcards you have answered.
- Whether you have restated, judged, or corrected your understanding.
So checking state is not the first step. The first step is still learning: read, clarify, practice.
7.2 Diagnosis: Use It When You Do Not Know the Next Step
Diagnosis is used during learning and mainly answers one question:
What should I do next?These situations are suitable for Diagnosis:
- You answered several flashcards but do not know what is still unstable.
- You read the tutorial but still are not sure whether you can enter the next lesson.
- You asked AI several times and the flow feels scattered.
- You are unsure whether to continue practicing, review the tutorial, or try Explain Back.
The value of diagnosis is not giving a polished evaluation, but making the next step concrete.
A useful diagnosis result should help you know:
What is relatively stable now?
What is least stable now?
Which action should be supplemented first?If diagnosis only says “keep going,” it is not very helpful. You need an actionable next step.
7.3 Learning Report: Use It After a Period of Learning
The Learning Report is for stage-level summary.
It is not required immediately after entering a course, and should not be opened after every short segment.
A more suitable timing is when you already have a learning record, such as reading tutorials, asking AI, answering flashcards, or leaving interactions in Explain Back, Guided Questions, or diagnosis.
At this point the report is meaningful because it can summarize based on real records:
- What you have mastered relatively stably.
- What remains unstable.
- How you can supplement next.
If there is no record, the report can become overly vague.
7.4 Difference Between Diagnosis and Reports
A short distinction:
Diagnosis checks the present; report checks a period.More specifically:
| Tool | Most suitable timing |
|---|---|
| Diagnosis | During learning when next step is uncertain |
| Learning Report | After a period of records, for stage summary |
If you do not know what to do now, use Diagnosis first.
If you have completed a learning stretch and want to review performance in that segment, then use a Learning Report.
7.5 A Basic Learning Cycle Ends Here
At this point, you now know how one basic DeepDojo.AI learning cycle works:
Read tutorial
↓
Clarify with Q&A mode
↓
Do flashcard practice
↓
Use Explain Back or Guided Questions when needed
↓
Use diagnosis when next step is unclear
↓
Use Learning Report after you have a recordThis is not a complex method. It simply helps you know when to understand, when to practice, and when to review.
After learning this, you can already start using DeepDojo.AI in this sequence, rather than stopping at feature names.
