# create-a-study-guide Design the guide to require recall and explanation, not repeated rereading. ## When to use - Use after collecting approved notes, readings, assignments, feedback, and course objectives. - Do not include leaked assessments, unauthorized answer keys, or restricted student work. ## Procedure 1. Record assessment scope, format, date, permitted materials, learning objectives, and authoritative course sources. 2. Inventory topics and mark confidence, importance, dependencies, and known misconceptions. 3. Organize content by concept and relationship rather than by the order files were received. 4. For each objective, write a concise explanation, example, counterexample, diagram or formula, and source link. 5. Create retrieval questions that require definitions, comparison, application, calculation, and transfer. 6. Add worked problems with the reasoning hidden from the initial prompt. 7. Verify facts, formulas, units, terminology, and example answers against approved sources. 8. Test the guide closed-book, log errors, and schedule another retrieval round for weak topics. 9. Keep corrections versioned so a polished layout cannot hide uncertain content. ## Worked example A biology guide initially contains copied slide bullets. The student reorganizes it around mechanisms, links each diagram to the assigned text, adds prediction questions, and attempts them without notes. A misconception about diffusion appears during retrieval and is corrected with a source citation. ## Done - A study-guide document maps every assessed objective to sourced explanations, relationships, examples, and retrieval prompts - A closed-book test record verifies answers and lists corrected misconceptions plus remaining weak areas
