Doing Assignments

An assignment isn’t a worksheet you finish in one sitting — it’s a deck of review cards spread over days. That spreading is the point: it’s what makes the material stick. (Curious why? See The Forgetting Curve.)

The daily loop

1. Open your park — assignment buildings show when cards are due.
2. Answer today’s cards: multiple choice, four options each. After each answer you see whether you were right and a short explanation.
3. Correct answers earn bricks for that building (and count toward your streak and energy — see Park Progression).

A few minutes a day beats an hour once a week — literally, the schedule is built on that fact. New assignments arrive 10 cards a day: a 30-card deck is three short sessions, not one long one. Cards you have already seen always come back when they are due.

Getting a card wrong

Nothing bad happens. The card just comes back tomorrow instead of days from now, and it’ll keep returning on short intervals until you nail it. Cards you consistently get right come back less and less often — 1 day, 3 days, then a week, weeks, months.

Completing an assignment

An assignment is completed when:

1. You’ve answered every card at least once, and
2. Your overall accuracy is at least 60%.

Once you’ve earned it, it’s yours — later mistakes can’t un-complete it. If you’re below 60% after the first pass, keep reviewing: accuracy is counted across all your answers, so getting cards right on their return raises it.

After the due date

If your teacher set a due date, aim for it — your teacher sees an on-track/behind signal. But cards don’t lock afterward. Reviews continue as long as the assignment is active, because the goal is your memory in three months, not the deadline.

Your assignment building

Every assignment is a building in your park from day one — you can place it on the map straight away. It grows through four tiers as you answer correctly, and each tier has its own look.

Want it to look like yours? Tap the building and choose Make it yours. You have 4 designs, one for each tier, and they never run out on a schedule — use them when you like. A design changes only the picture: your building keeps growing exactly the same way whether you use them or not. Teachers can switch designs off for a classroom; if yours has, the button simply is not there.

Fairness note

Your answer options appear in a different order than your classmates’ — “it’s B” won’t help anyone. You’re welcome to study together; you just can’t share positions.
