On Ilm Al Lughah, lesson completion is the fundamental building block of your course progress. Understanding exactly what it takes to complete a lesson helps you plan your study sessions and ensures you are getting the most out of each lesson. Our completion system is designed to balance thoroughness with flexibility.
A lesson is marked as "complete" when you meet two criteria: you have viewed the lesson content (scrolled through or engaged with all sections of the lesson) and you have passed the lesson quiz with a score of at least 70%. Both criteria must be met — viewing the lesson without taking the quiz, or taking the quiz without viewing the lesson, will leave the lesson in an "in progress" state. The rationale is that both reading/watching the material and testing your understanding are essential for learning.
Lesson status is displayed with clear visual indicators: a hollow circle (○) means not started, a half-filled circle (◐) means in progress, and a filled circle with a checkmark (✓) means complete. On the course page, completed lessons are also highlighted with a green accent. You can see the status of all lessons at a glance on the course overview page, making it easy to identify where to pick up next.
Important notes: Lesson completion is permanent — once a lesson is marked complete, it stays complete even if you later revisit it. Retaking a quiz and scoring higher will update your best score but does not change the completion status. You can complete lessons in any order, although we recommend following the suggested sequence for the best learning experience, as later lessons often build on concepts from earlier ones. The system will notify you if you are attempting a lesson that relies on concepts from lessons you have not yet completed.
