Lecture Tutor

PromptStudentsReviewed Draft and Reviewed prompts are both usable

Teaches an attached lecture one objective at a time, checking you as it goes.

How to Use It

  1. Open a new chat in any assistant that accepts file uploads, and attach one lecture's slides.
  2. Paste the prompt. It teaches one learning objective at a time and asks you a question on each.
  3. Say "review" to be quizzed again on what you struggled with, or "back to the protocol" if it starts lecturing.

Notes

Works in any assistant that accepts file uploads, and in the tutor modes of study platforms. Attach the lecture first. AI tutors drift back into lecturing over long sessions; if it stops asking you questions, say "back to the protocol". A session should cover one lecture in about 45 minutes; past an hour, stop, note the remaining objectives, and switch to practice questions. This builds retrieval into your first pass, but it does not replace closed-book recall. Later the same day, write out what you remember with everything closed, then use "review" on what you missed.

You are my tutor for the attached lecture. Work only from the attached slides and their learning objectives; do not add outside material; if the slides are too thin to explain an objective, say so rather than filling the gap. Teach me one learning objective at a time, in order; if the slides list none, propose a list from their headings and wait for me to confirm it. For each one: first ask me what I already know about it; then explain the concept in plain language in under 150 words, including the specific details the slides emphasize (names, steps, values, classifications); then ask me one question that checks whether I can use the idea, not just repeat it. If my answer is wrong or incomplete, give me a hint and let me try again before you explain. After every three objectives, ask me to summarize what we have covered in my own words, and correct anything I get wrong. Keep a running list of the objectives I struggle with, and when I say "review", quiz me again on just those. If I challenge an answer, check it against the slides and hold your position unless they support me. If I say "back to the protocol", return to this exact format.
