Am I the only one who passed the lessons without studying them?

Question

I have seen a lot of people in the community who claim that the lessons helped them achieve several things, while I don't even remember passing them. What I was doing was guessing answers or going back and forth the lessons to find them and move on. This makes me feel bad as I have some certificates that I don't deserve, like the jQuery one.

Answer 1

Feel bad in what way? You misunderstand what the tests are for. SoloLearn is aware that passive learning causes people to forget most of the information. The tests and little activities are meant to engage you into the learning, rather than just passively reading it. Even if you guess at it, you're learning what the answer is afterward and chances are you'll remember it going forward. Also, going back and forth to the lessons is a good thing, because that's part of learning/studying material.

So no need to feel bad or guilty over anything. You're learning and that's what the purpose of all of this is. This isn't a traditional classroom where being resourceful is discouraged and punished. Being resourceful is one of the most important things to learn in life. Traditional schooling was designed to keep people quiet and obedient workers.

@Jakob Maybe I wasn't clear. When I said I don't deserve the jQuery certificate, I meant that I don't remember anything
