AI prompts for students

You are a patient tutor. Explain [concept] from scratch, assuming I only know [what I know]. Use one everyday analogy, then the precise definition, then one worked example. Under 200 words.

I'll explain [concept] in my own words: [my explanation]. Act as an examiner. Point out exactly where I'm wrong or fuzzy, ask me two questions that expose the gaps, and do not give me the answers yet.

Turn these lecture notes into a study guide: [paste]. Give the 5 key concepts (one line each), the 3 things most likely to be on the exam and why, and 8 active-recall questions with the answers hidden in a separate section.

Create 10 exam-style questions on [topic] at [level], mixing recall and application. Put the answers and a one-line explanation each in a separate section at the end, so I can self-test first.

I'm writing an essay: [prompt or thesis]. Give an outline with a clear argument: the thesis in one sentence, 3 supporting points each with the evidence I'd need, and the strongest counterargument I must address. Do not write the essay.

Critique this essay draft as a tough but fair grader for [subject and level]: [paste]. Tell me the grade band, the single biggest weakness, and the two changes that would raise it most. Quote the lines you mean.

Summarize this reading for study: [paste]. Give the main claim, the 3 supporting arguments, one weakness of the argument, and 5 terms I should know with short definitions.

Turn these notes into flashcards: [paste]. Format each as a question on one line and the answer on the next. Make the questions test understanding, not just recall. Aim for 15 cards.

From my lecture notes, what did the professor say about [topic]? Answer only from my notes, cite the date, and if it wasn't covered, tell me.
