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].

    It’s good information but I’m still not making sense of what your saying… idk how you see eye shape or a threat so clearly or weaknesses in shapes it’s like speaking Russian while I can’t hear anything but Charlie browns teacher talking….

    Very clear and helpful. The integration with the little go quizzes is especially smooth. This succeeded in getting me motivated to earn 2000 coins and then spring for the discounted membership lol. I want to take the courses that are mentioned in the skill tree exercises etc.

    Going through the course for the third or fourth time - each time I see something new, and I still find myself doing the mistakes that are mentioned… hopefully less and less! Very much recommended!

    Getting the breakdown of common mistakes was incredibly useful, commentary like this is always incredibly beneficial for actual understanding.

    go is such a complicated game to start to get competent at. having a course like this is the next best thing to having a skilled player review your games and tell you what big mistakes youre repeating. thank you so much!!
