Treehouse points meaning

Do the points given for challenges/quizzes relate to one another from topic to topic? While I have studied two courses already, I am currently learning Javascript (NOT Java!) from Dave McFarland and am finding points extremely easy to come by. Granted some may find JS a leap after HTML and CSS, but I can't see how my progress in this course so far has led me to gain so many points. Not that I'm complaining!

Hi Ben Brenton

There are points assigned to each quiz, each code challenge, each video and each stage. For a course with more videos and code challenges, you'll get more points.

And, because you correctly pointed out that JavaScript is NOT Java, I'd give you another 200 points (if I could ).

Hi, just building on this Q, I see in my profile what seems to be a place to see my overall points and number of badges, but is there a way to see the points i've earned for quizzes, challenges, and videos?

Thanks!

Brendan
