Concept breakdown
Concept breakdown splits a chapter into individually testable pieces, revealing which specific parts are actually shaky.

The big idea
Students build a personal revision system: break a chapter into concepts, generate flashcards and quizzes, and schedule the reviews across days rather than cramming them into one evening.
Why it matters
Study technique compounds across every subject. This module can improve results in classes that have nothing to do with AI.
Unpacked
What you will actually learn
Three core ideas, each taught with worked examples and then practised until it feels obvious.
Flashcards and quizzes
Flashcards and quizzes force recall, which is what builds durable memory — recognising an answer is not the same as remembering it.
Revision planning
Revision planning spreads practice over days. Spaced repetition beats one long session, reliably and by a wide margin.
Did you know?
Hermann Ebbinghaus mapped the forgetting curve in the 1880s using nonsense syllables on himself. Spaced repetition still relies on his findings.
Common mix-up
“Highlighting is studying.” Research repeatedly ranks it among the least effective techniques. Self-testing ranks among the best.

Project lab
Seven-day AI-supported revision system
Every module ends with something the student built themselves and can demonstrate. This is the piece that goes into their portfolio and gets explained out loud at the end of session 32.
Try this at home
Build a seven-day revision plan for a real upcoming test, follow it exactly, and compare how prepared you feel to last time.
It is finished when
- It works from start to finish without breaking
- You can explain every part of it in your own words
- You tested it and improved at least one thing afterwards
- Someone else used or understood it without your help
