Finish and Reflect on Your Project

Bring the pieces together: your idea, goal, first version, test, and revision. A project is ready when it meets its purpose and its important details have been checked for the way you intend to use it.

Call it finished too soonImportant details can slip through

“AI made the guide, so it must be ready.”

AI can help create a draft, but you are responsible for checking the details and deciding where it belongs.

Do a final human reviewChoose the next step

“Help me make a final review list for my welcome guide. Include checking every local detail and link. Then help me list what I might add later.”

For the welcome guide, compare the latest draft with the goal: can a reader find reliable starting points? Check each local detail with its source. You can keep the guide private, use it, ask for more feedback, or stop if it meets your goal.

Your notes save in this browser and are included in the dashboard’s learning-work export. They are not tied to a sign-in or synced to another device; clearing browser data can remove them. On paper, use the same headings and bring your notes to the next lesson.

AI can suggest, draft, and help you review. You make the decisions and choose what to keep.
