Stop by going after the challenge

Every time I pass the challenge, I want to re-check the code on what I did. I don't know if the code is right or wrong. It passed, but sometimes I'm just thinking "Will this pass? Is this the correct way to do it?" - and in fact, it does pass when it's right, but I want to re-check on how I did it, instead of deleting the code and going pass to next section automatically.

Very annoying.

The forum is a great place to get help from other students, but may not be the most expedient (or even certain) way to contact the staff.

You might also want to make course comments and suggestions directly to the staff as described on the Support page.

Yeah, I know that :)

You have made valid points.

Just wanted to write it here instead of writing it to the Support, as I know they look over the forum. So maybe they'll take a note.

Plus, I'd like to hear other students opinion on this, so the place is a great way to discuss this perhaps :) Maybe some students like it, or never though about it. So I'm curious about that too.

If your intention is to discuss with other students, this is the right place.

I don't personally have an issue with this mechanism, though I can see how there might be value in having a "back" button.

Yeah, the way I wrote it in the first place was kinda like if I was targeting the support via the community (which I hope one of the support staff at least see or perhaps comment - like they sometimes do).

But yeah, what you just said on the back-button or perhaps a next button before finishing the challenge, and then showing the badge will be even more beneficial.

In fact, a discussion like this is good, because then we can send this to the support for extra info :)

Another thing is that when I went back my code was gone, so I couldn't even check what I wrote.

Hello, Aurelian,

I empathize, and here's my ongoing workaround for the dilemma :)

Before clicking "Check Work" (or whatever the button text is), I put my answer into Notepad. Like you, I want to keep the code for reference in case the code in my final answer was accurate and actually passed.

The annoying part is that doing that, you need to remember to ctr+a and ctr+c - that's distracting when you want to see the code working, and if it passes, you were focused on the copy and paste - that's how I feel at least.

Cool :) Maybe TeamTreeHouse could do something about this. Like with QUizes, if you answer all quizez, to see the badge or go to next video/challenge, you need to press continue - that's beautiful :)
