AI can be a useful study companion, helping you understand topics, practice what you’ve learned and organise your studies more effectively.
Create a study guide
Copilot can be a great tool to help build a study guide, especially when you're trying to build your revision and study time around other commitments such as work and social activities.
Quiz me on these notes
If you've taken notes on a topic, whether it be a lecture, a presentation you need to know every detail of, or a new skill you're trying to learn, you can get AI to create quizzes for you on these notes. Simply provide the notes you've taken to the AI, then ask for a quiz. This can help solidify your knowledge of a topic, and is a great tool for revising or rehearsing.
An example prompt for this could be:
Here are my notes on modes of radioactive decay. Give me 15 multiple choice questions on this topic, based off my notes.
Proofread your work
You can ask AI to proofread your work, to identify any errors in grammar, spelling mistakes, or inconsistencies in your language. By uploading a document into Copilot, you can ask it to review the entire document in context.
Turn notes into flashcards
If you have a set of notes from your studies, or a set of items you're trying to learn, you can ask Copilot to turn them into a set of flashcards for you. This is a great way to create a ready-made revision practice within seconds. You can type your notes in, or upload a document containing the notes, then simply ask for AI to make you some flashcards.
An example prompt for this could be:
Convert these notes into question-and-answer flashcards.
Give me a scenario
You can use AI to give you a scenario to work through for your studies, to help you move away from conceptual understanding and place yourself in solving the issue in a real-world application. This can help you to apply the knowledge you have, and really identify where you would be confident to respond to a problem or task, and where you might need to brush up your knowledge.
An example prompt for this could be:
Create realistic workplace scenarios where I need to apply the principles of data protection.
Roleplay an examiner
You can ask AI to roleplay as an examiner in your chosen topic, and ask you questions, and get you to drill deeper into your responses. This can be a great way to check your understanding on a topic, or to prep for an interview, by helping you understand which areas you can speak about confidently, and which you are less sure on and need to improve your understanding.
