YOU'LL WALK OUT WITH
01

Three habits and eight concrete tips for studying with AI without outsourcing the learning.

02

A working study tool built on your own course material: a practice-exam generator, a tutor, a simulation, or a full study agent.

03

A clear picture of how agents work (goals, limits, materials, files as memory) and how to stop one lying to you.

WHAT YOU COULD BUILDPICK ONE · OR BRING YOUR OWN

After the lecture, you build. Pick one of these starters — every step has a copyable prompt, and helpers float the room. Got something else in mind? Bring your own.

Intro~15 MIN · FREE
A · Practice-exam generator
Old exams → the question types that keep coming back → a fresh mock exam with an answer key.

Intro~15 MIN · FREE
B · Hard topic → simulation
The live build from the demos, for your own course: a concept that doesn't click from text becomes an interactive simulation.

Intro~10 MIN · FREE
C · Tutor that asks first
It never answers straight away, and it finds your blind spots.

Intro~10 MIN · FREE
D · Source checker
A second model checks every claim against your slides. No source? Don't use it.

E · Daily reflection planner
Five minutes at night: tell it what you studied and where you got stuck, and tomorrow's plan is waiting.

Core~30 MIN · PAID
F · Full study agent
Claude Code in a course folder: map, learn, quiz, review. It writes its own notes and remembers what you got wrong. Needs a paid Claude plan.

Intro~25 MIN · FREE
F · Study agent, chat version
The same agent design inside a Claude or ChatGPT project. Works on free plans; you carry its memory yourself with a progress card.

#SEGMENTWHAT HAPPENSMIN
01Welcome + setupLaptops open, log in to an AI tool, and find real material from a course you're taking right now: lecture slides, an old exam, an assignment brief.10
02How to study with AIThree habits, eight tips. Give it context, make it teach instead of tell, keep your judgment. Why testing yourself beats re-reading.20
03How agents workA prompt answers, an agent keeps score. Goals, limits, materials. Files are memory. The quality gates that stop it lying, leaking or flattering.15
04DemosTwo student builds, then a live build: a hard topic from real slides turned into an interactive simulation.22
05Build blockMake a project for one course, then pick one build from the menu and finish it for your own course. Helpers circulate, queue is open.40
06Show & tellTwo minutes each: which course, which build, where did it lie, leak or flatter, and what did you change.10
07Take this with youOne project per course. "Ask me first." Cite or it didn't happen.3
