Academic work.
WHAT HELPS
Practice questions from your own material Testing, spaced over days Explaining what you got wrong Identifying what you have not covered
THE GAP-FINDING PROMPT
"Here is the syllabus and here are my notes. What have I not covered?"
Genuinely useful and rarely done.
FOR PAST PAPERS
Work them yourself, under time pressure, then ask for assessment.
"Here is the question and my answer. What would lose marks?"
FOR CALCULATIONS
Do them yourself. Never accept a worked answer without verifying it.
Models make arithmetic errors.
WHAT TO VERIFY
Everything against your actual course material.
A fluent explanation of something wrong is convincing.
ON ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Check your institution's rules on AI in assessed work.
They vary, they are changing, and the consequences of breaching them are serious.
Submitting generated work as your own is misconduct in most institutions.
