Turn lecture notes into exam-focused notes

A complete transcript of the lecture is not a revision tool. An exam-focused sheet is.

Convert with three passes

  1. Capture: keep structure and definitions.
  2. Compress: remove examples that do not teach a transferable idea.
  3. Test: rewrite headings as questions.

Question stems that help

  • Compare…
  • Explain the mechanism…
  • When would this fail…
  • Define and apply…

Lecturai tip

Generate an exam-focused summary, then edit ruthlessly. Keep source citations so you can return to the original when unsure.
