Review Mechanism FTW!

KA forces students to "review" old topics they have not encountered recently. This mechanism rocks. My students have been working on KA for long enough to finally get to the point where they must review old topics, and are realizing they forgot how to do them. They become embarrased at first, then quickly realize that the review mechanism is for their own good, and get right back to work.
