Member Reviews
Completed exercises from both basic and active courses can be sent out for review by other members (native or fluent speakers), who provide feedback and tips. Members can also pay for “Expert Reviews” from language teachers that have been certified by Livemocha for 120 tokens. The user may rate the quality of these reviews, and choose to work with a particular expert reviewer. Private instruction sessions, conducted via video chat with a selected tutor, are also available for purchase.
Members earn “Mochapoints” by completing exercises and reviewing other people’s submissions. These points are not to be confused with the tokens. The tokens are earned for rating other people's submissions, or from paying a set fee in real life currency for a certain number of tokens. Mochapoints are a way to keep track of your progress and to compare the amount of time you have put into the website compared to other users. You gain Mochapoints for entering submissions, grading other people's submissions, chating with other users, etc. They can not be spent for content access in the same way that the tokens can be.

Famous quotes containing the words member and/or reviews:
“Neighboring farmers and visitors at White Sulphur drove out occasionally to watch ‘those funny Scotchmen’ with amused superiority; when one member imported clubs from Scotland, they were held for three weeks by customs officials who could not believe that any game could be played with ‘such elongated blackjacks or implements of murder.’”
—For the State of West Virginia, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“I have been reporting club meetings for four years and I am tired of hearing reviews of the books I was brought up on. I am tired of amateur performances at occasions announced to be for purposes either of enjoyment or improvement. I am tired of suffering under the pretense of acquiring culture. I am tired of hearing the word “culture” used so wantonly. I am tired of essays that let no guilty author escape quotation.”
—Josephine Woodward, U.S. author. As quoted in Everyone Was Brave, ch. 3, by William L. O’Neill (1969)
