## How do I turn lecture slides into a study sheet with AI?

Attach the slide PDF to ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and ask for a review sheet capped at three printed pages, organized by topic with terms, rules and one example each. It works the same for school courses, certification classes and work trainings. If you're studying for a test, ask it to flag anything unclear instead of guessing, and check the course rules before you bring any notes into the room.

## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
I've attached the slides from [THE COURSE, e.g. my food safety certification class]. Turn them into a review sheet that fits on 3 printed pages.

Organize it by topic, in the order the slides teach it. For each topic give me: the core idea in one or two sentences, key terms with short definitions, any rules, formulas or numbers to remember, and one example.

Add a short "easy to mix up" box for ideas that are often confused.

Use tight bullets, no filler, and only what's in the slides. If something on a slide is unclear, list it as a question to ask the instructor instead of guessing.

My goal: [YOUR GOAL, e.g. pass the final test next Friday].
```

## Step by step

1. Download the course slides as a PDF.
2. Attach the PDF to a new chat in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
3. Paste the prompt, fill in your course and goal, and send it.
4. Ask for a printable version, then check it against the slides.

## What you'll get

A three-page review sheet organized by topic, with terms, rules, examples, an easy-to-mix-up box and questions for your instructor.
