Best Practices

Structured organization: Create clear hierarchical outlines that mirror how material was presented in lecture for logical review flow.

Exam-focused content: Prioritize identifying concepts and terms that are likely to appear on exams based on professor emphasis and complexity.

Cross-lecture connections: Link concepts to previous lectures when possible to build comprehensive understanding of course themes.

Actionable questions: Generate practice questions that test understanding rather than simple recall for deeper learning.
