Why does completing separate courses not appear in combined courses?

Question

For example, I completed the stand alone Python developers course, but now if I want to take coding foundations, it doesn't update that I have completed the course and I have to start it all over again to be able to complete coding foundations. Is there any way to fix this?

Answer 1

Sololearn calls the combined courses 'learning paths' but each certificate needs to be earned independently.

IMO, it doesn't hurt to go over course material more than once since it should be easy if the student is already familiar with the material.

Yeah. I wish they didn't make fake courses by splicing existing courses. It's annoying and disappointing when you find out. Although, as Keith said, I have used it to hammer in what I already know -- not exactly a silver lining, but at least not a mud lining.

The only place I've seen it called a learning path is in a discussion thread. When you go to "Discover all courses", it just has the titles. It's misleading.

In my opinion, a learning path should not be a course but a higher-order structure containing a suggested list of courses.

Considering how good the Sololearn back end is, integrating all those languages into a common playground interface and letting us see and run each other's code and write comments on it, and considering that this is primarily supposed to be an educational app, I find it shocking just how amateurish the educational content writing team is. It's like they're fishing around trying to figure out how to pretend to imitate teachers. Half the time, they don't even punctuate their sentences.

If Sololearn ever got together with one of those other sites with excellent writers but no social integration, the combination would be unstoppable.
