We publish all reviews; the coins for a review never depend on its rating. How reviews work
- To write a review, a learner must be enrolled in the course and have completed at least one lesson or topic. Earlier reviews needed enrolment only.
- We publish every review at once, whatever its rating, and remove only spam, insults and personal data.
- One review per course; its author can edit or delete it at any time.
- A learner gets 20 coins (the site's points) once per course, for a review with at least 30 characters of text, whatever the rating.
- The average is the plain mean of all ratings. Reviews in your language come first, then those other learners marked helpful (marks on newer reviews count for more), then those with text, newest first.
- Next to newer reviews we show the author's estimated rank on the site and how much of the course they had completed when they last wrote or edited the review.
- The course's teachers and our team may reply to a review publicly.
- To report a review, write to [email protected].
This course gave me new ideas about how to play and makes the game even deeper and more interesting than ever. Thank you guys !
HelpfulThe course was one of the strongest and most important courses I’ve taken, and this topic can truly make a difference in anyone’s level. However, as constructive feedback, given how complex this subject is, it would be much better to explain every move: why it is played and why another move isn’t better, rather than simply extending atari without explaining why it is always necessary.
HelpfulGreat use of teaching examples from actual games.
Helpfulvery detailed and thorough course with a good mix of easy and hard problems
HelpfulVery interesting, lots of examples. Thanks
HelpfulGame changer. I cannot look at stones and groups the same way I did. Aji, thickness, weakness, sabaki… it changed everything.
HelpfulI love the lessons. The quizzes suck though. I think more effort, and I meant, much more, should be used to fix the quizzes. I know that since it is a very difficult course, it is hard to be perfect, but I will just give my constructive review here. Fix the quizzes and it will be a five star.
HelpfulHere is the wished change to ShoDan!
HelpfulVery good.
