If I complete the curriculum section on CSS flexbox and later realize I remember next to nothing, can I redo the exercises without affecting other sections that I completed? I am working on my product landing page and realizing that even though all my tests are passing, I don’t remember anything at all about the CSS flexbox section of the curriculum that I completed. I used the internet to get a flexbox container working for my product landing page. I’m also thinking about doing a retread from the start but thinking it might be better to first complete the last two projects for my Responsive Web Design Certification first and then start all over. ---

Yes, you can revisit any sections you want without affecting your progress. I do it all the time for the same reason. 🙂 If you want to keep example solutions for future reference, you can try putting them in a coding journal or in codepens! ---

Revisiting the challenge where a concept was introduced is very useful. My unsolicited opinion is not to redo a whole section of the curriculum from beginning to end. It has a tendency to become a sneaky procrastination method, like wearing water-wings to “build up your swimming muscles” and never actually trying to swim. I am of the belief that it’s best to be trying always be a bit over your head. The old exercises will always be there when you need to grab the wall. ---
