Revisiting difficult exercises

[alexmojaki]

In learning in general it's helpful to revisit problems which you struggled with in the past to make sure you've overcome the past difficulties. I think it would be good if the site had a page with a list of exercises the user didn't solve easily, in this order:

• The user had to show the actual solution, starting with those where they revealed the greatest percentage of pieces.
• The user solved the Parsons problem solution
• The user had to request hints, starting with those where they got the most hints

Clicking on any such exercise in the list lets them easily redo the exercise as if they were doing it for the first time, including hints/solutions and the text steps that came before.

Any thoughts on this?

It's a good idea!

I help a lot of beginners, and they tend to collect a lot of mental clutter slowing them down or getting them stuck due to concerns of leaving behind loose ends, or fear of missing out tiny bits of information, which they believe will prevent them from moving forward. So they tend to keep repeating the same topics without confidence and waste a lot of time.

Therefore I think it should be limited to those cases where they showed the actual solution or solved the Parsons problem. Using the hints should be considered "OK, done, move on".
