I have loaded my course syllabus and my course materials as sources. Build a **coverage map** from them before I start studying. **Step 1 — objectives from the syllabus only** List each unit or week and the learning objectives the syllabus states for it. Quote the syllabus wording; do not add objectives it does not state. **Step 2 — where each objective is covered** For every objective, point to the source(s) and section that cover it. Use this table: | Unit | Objective (syllabus wording) | Covered in (source · section) | Coverage: full / partial / none | **Step 3 — gaps** List objectives marked *partial* or *none*. For each, say what is missing — a definition, a worked example, a derivation — so I know what to find elsewhere. **Step 4 — three practice questions per unit** Write them **only from what the sources contain**. After each question, name the source section the answer is in. **Rules** - ***Answer only from the loaded sources.*** If something is common knowledge in the field but not in the sources, it does not count as coverage - Do not guess the exam format or weighting unless the syllabus states it — if it does, quote it - If the syllabus is missing or has no objectives, stop after saying so
After pasting, fill in the fields at the bottom (Course name · Exam scope (optional))
What this prompt does
Before summarizing course materials, it helps to know what they do not cover. This prompt quotes the syllabus objectives, maps each to a source section with a coverage rating, lists the gaps with what is missing, and writes practice questions answerable only from the sources.
