How learning works

How a day works

Every day follows the same steps, in the app or on the website.

  1. Step 1: A new day opens each day

    Day 1 opens on the day you add the course. After that, a new day opens each calendar day once it is published, and every open day stays open.

  2. Step 2: Read the lesson

    Each day starts with its lesson, which you read at your own pace.

  3. Step 3: Submit the assignment

    Answer every question, then submit once. On a day with a live class, it opens after you attend or start the replay.

  4. Step 4: Get reviewed

    A reviewer publishes marks, a summary and suggestions, and you are notified when the feedback is ready.

  5. Step 5: Complete the day

    Read the feedback, then tap “Complete Day”. Your progress and learning streak update.

Notifications tell you about class reminders, new days and feedback that is ready. See how it works

FAQ

Questions about this course

How long is the course, and how do its days open?

Its length isn't fixed yet: new days are added as they are published. Day 1 opens on the day you add the course, and after that a new day opens each calendar day (India time), once it has been published. Every day that has opened stays open.

Does the course have live classes?

The course team sets each day's plan. When a day has a live class, you can join it while it is live, or watch its replay up to 3 times if you miss it.

How are assignments reviewed?

The day's assignment opens after you attend the live class or start its replay, or straight away when the day has no live class. Answer every question and submit once: a submitted assignment can't be edited. A reviewer then publishes your marks, a summary and suggestions, and you are notified when the feedback is ready. Reading it and tapping “Complete Day” completes the day.

Is there a certificate?

No. The course has no fixed length, so there is no last day to complete, and a certificate is not among its inclusions.

Is the course really free?

Yes. Drafting Assistance is free for registered learners, and registration is free too. The course opens as soon as you add it.
