掲示板 Forums - fixed amount of daily questions per schedule

Hi,

I have several schedules in which there are no new terms anymore, but I just want to practice/repeat like x% of the total set every day.

For example: hiragana and katakana schedules: from the like 200 terms total, I want to practice/repeat 50 every day. So when I start my Renshuu app, how can I get 50 randomised katakana and hiragana to practise with? I don't want to start a focused review in this case, because doing 50 at once is too much. I want to spread the practicing over the day in like 5 sets of 10 questions. Manually doing 5 focused reviews is not an option, because in that case I have to keep track of how many times I've done a focused review to get to the total of 50.

Another one: I made my own 'kanji look & learn' (yeah from the book) schedule, which will eventually have 512 kanji. How can I practice 100 randomly selected kanji from this set of 512 in 10 sets of 10 during a day? Again, I don't want to manually start a focused review ten times and keep track of how many I've done allready.

JLPT N5 vocab list: same thing! Just want to repeat like 100 words a day.

So I'm basically looking for a way for Renshuu when I open the app in the morning to tell me like 'hey you have to repeat 100 kanji, 100 words, 50 katakana/hiragana, ...., today, here's your list, start working on it'.

Any ideas? Thansk a lot!

thanks! I'm gonna try that right away.

update: hmm, strange. works for the JLPT-N5 vocab schedule, but doesn't work for the other ones (kanji, katakana, hiragana, grammar) ...

i made the adjustments you suggested, saved them but they only seem to work as expected for the vocab schedule, not for the kana, grammar and kanji ones.

maybe i should wait for a schedule refresh? happens at 03:00, it's 20:50 right now

I did not have time to read through all of the messages, but addressing the first one:

Aside from the focused reviews, there is not really a way to have renshuu queue up a fixed number of terms for you each day that sidestep the system's scheduling of "hey, which terms do they actually need to study". Although I cannot say what'll happen in the future, my gut at this point is leaning towards not adding something like this, as it is another layer of complexity that further adds to the "renshuu is too complex to use" issue that I'm continually battling.

As I understand it, it would essentially be a third way of gathering terms, where the first two are:

1. Normal studying (let the schedule choose, with efforts to minimize "unnecessary studying"

2. Focused review (ignores scheduled reviews, lets you choose a fixed amount based on several parameters)

It seems like it might be swingable as an extension to the Focused review, but the potential UI does not sound pleasant to me (which would not just be your use-case, but broadening the system enough so that a lot of people could take advantage of it):

A. Daily limit on focused review studies:

B. Max number of terms per quiz:

C. Per schedule? global?

D. A visual display keeping track of A,B,C and showing it to the user

E. additional database structuring to keep track of all of this. (It would need to keep track of how many were done per day compared to the limit, as well as keep track of which terms were studied that day, as I imagine most people would want it, say, split up between x number of quizzes, but not have the same terms repeated across multiple quizzes)

I definitely add as many user requests as I can, but this one feels a bit too niche to me in comparison to the work it would require to implement as well as the visual complexity that it would add.

thnks, are you actually saying that if I tell Renshuu my daily study goal is 100 (kanji or whatever), I might only get to see like 20 or so because there's some SRS stuff going on? if that's the case then that's totally fine because I am studying these 100 kanji without actually seeing 100 kanji a day. Maybe I just don't understand how Renshuu works well enough yet!
