The problem in their words
Students follow their lessons but lose earlier material as the course moves on. As one put it, nothing forced them to remember week 2 once they were in week 5. They describe spending more time organising material than reviewing it, cards that ignore the visuals, and lengthy definitions they must memorize verbatim.

If you tested it
A headline for the page: “Remember week 2 when you reach week 5”
Test first: The riskiest assumption is that students will hand over their course material to get review. Test it by counting how many visitors try to upload a chapter or notes, not just sign up.
- Build a one-page site with the headline, a short demo turning a chapter with a diagram into review cards, and an upload button that collects an email.
- Share it in study-focused communities like the ones these posts came from, replying where people describe forgetting earlier weeks.
- Count it a yes if a clear share of visitors try to upload their own material during the week, not just leave an email.
