Path: Study (explain · quiz · weekly plan)

Goal: Use AI as a tutor that checks understanding—not a ghostwriter; closed-notes explain is the bar.

Best for: Students and self-learners who want active recall, not pasted essays.

Explain and quiz to learn—not to submit ghostwritten work.

Scene tip: Phone voice note before paste—ghostwritten summaries fail the closed-notes quiz.

Why beginners skip this

Saving the study-path link feels finished—without explain→quiz→plan this week, nothing sticks.

Why this order

Explain first so the model critiques your gaps instead of feeding a summary to memorize; quiz while it still hurts; weekly plan last and only on materials you name.

Outcome + honesty

You can explain a topic in your own words, survive a short quiz, and follow a weekly plan built from files you actually have. If a course forbids AI for an assignment, follow that rule—no exceptions from this site.

• study-explain-quiz-plan — the concrete loop
• Pack B in prompts-copy-paste-packs — fill-ins
• path-research — source tiers and evidence matrices when claims matter
• foundations-when-ai-sounds-sure-but-wrong — before you trust a “citation”

Scene: exam week without ghostwriting

Sam has lec3-notes.md and problem-set-2.pdf. Sam asks AI to quiz one question at a time, then build a 5-day plan from those two files only. When the model offers “also watch these three YouTube intros,” Sam refuses and asks what is missing from the notes instead.

Honesty line (pin):
Help me learn. Do not write essays I could submit as my own graded work.
Quiz me, critique my explanations, and plan practice from my materials only.
If I ask you to “just write the assignment,” refuse and offer a study alternative.

Choose one closed-notes assessment ahead. Session A: explain the topic aloud from memory for five minutes, then ask the model only for gaps—not a rewrite of your answer. Session B: generate a quiz from your notes; take it closed-notes; mark fails. Session C: plan the next study block only for failed items. If you cannot explain without looking, you have not learned it—ghostwritten paragraphs will not survive the room.

Save this card

Card: explain → quiz → plan. Closed-notes fail means back to explain—not ghostwrite.

Before you start

Create a 25-minute calendar block titled path-study. Open the live artifact for “Path: Study”—bookmark alone does not count. Guide: path-study. Keep the real job visible the whole time; a blank box means stop and fetch the artifact first.

Put the course outline and your own notes in reach. Decide the refuse line: “Do not write the essay body for me—quiz and critique only.” Timer on. Date the quiz score (Asia/Shanghai).

How to use this week

This week run explain → quiz → correct on one real concept along the path; no checkmark without a quiz.

Close the week by quoting aloud the refuse line you actually used once. If you cannot, rerun Practice now and date the pass/fail (Asia/Shanghai).

Close the loop

Write one line: next time I only save the path with no quiz, I refuse the checkmark.

Wed study: explain "recursion" 90s voice → 5-quiz notes closed.
Ghostwritten summary = fail. No invented reading list.
Context: real workstream this week (Asia/Shanghai). Name actual files/people.
Constraints: no invented metrics/owners/prices; label Unknowns; stop before send/delete/pay.
Done check: I can mark pass/fail in one minute on the output.

Wed study: voice-explain "binary search" 90s → quiz notes closed.
Ghostwritten summary = fail.
Context: real workstream this week (Asia/Shanghai). Name actual files/people.
Constraints: no invented metrics/owners/prices; label Unknowns; stop before send/delete/pay.
Done check: I can mark pass/fail in one minute on the output.

Red flags + refusal script

Ghostwriting for closed-notes; skipping explain→quiz—quiz fail means not learned.

Pitfalls

• Asking for a full essay draft the night before a closed-notes exam.
• Quizzing open-notes and calling it mastery.
• Skipping the explain-aloud step because typing feels faster.
• Saving model summaries instead of a plan that targets your fails.

Practice now

Interleave: mix two topics in today’s quiz (Asia/Shanghai).

Active recall: close notes; write three points from memory (Asia/Shanghai).

Feynman gap: note the first place teach-back failed (Asia/Shanghai).

Spaced line: schedule one revisit date Asia/Shanghai on Save (Asia/Shanghai).

Teach-back drill: 30s teach-back to empty chair; note the stumble word (Asia/Shanghai).

Study-path drill: explain one concept aloud 60s; quiz yourself with three questions you write first (Asia/Shanghai).

Thin-spot drill: rewrite the Save card with real nouns from your work (repo, doc, inbox). Generic placeholders fail the drill.

Tonight run explain → quiz → correct on one real concept; no checkmark without a quiz.

Reality check: after Practice now, write one sentence you will refuse next time—and keep it on the Save card dated Asia/Shanghai.

Today card (copy) — path-study: 1. Artifact I will produce: ___ 2. Pass/fail check: ___ 3. Refuse-line if tempted to skip verify/send: ___ (date: Asia/Shanghai) 4. One never-do from this guide: ___

Extra pass: do the card on a real file today—reading alone does not count.

One sentence takeaway

Explain → quiz → correct; no checkmark without a quiz.

Word-floor practice

Run the Today card once on a real artifact. Write pass/fail + never-do with date Asia/Shanghai. If you only skimmed, do not mark this guide done.

路径：学习（讲清楚 · 自测 · 周计划）

目标： 把 AI 当检查理解的家教，不是代写作业的枪手；合上笔记讲得清才算过。

适合： 想要主动回忆、而不是粘贴作文的学生与自学者。

先讲清楚，再自测，最后才订计划；计划只引用你点名的材料。

为什么新手跳过

收藏学习路径标题像进步；本周没有讲→测→订正，什么都没留下。

为什么是这个顺序

先讲解，好让模型批你的漏洞，而不是塞摘要去背；趁还费劲时立刻自测；周计划放最后且只锚定你点名的材料。

达成效果 + 诚信

选今晚要交的一章：合上笔记讲三分钟，再做三道自测；正文自己写。

• study-explain-quiz-plan — 具体循环
• 提示词包 B — 填空即用
• 研究路径 — 主张要紧时用来源分级与证据表
• 听起来很有把握却是错的 — 相信「引用」之前先看

场景：不代写的考试周

Sam 手头有 lec3-notes.md 和 problem-set-2.pdf。Sam 让 AI 一次只出一题，再只根据这两个文件订 5 天计划。当模型推荐「再看这三个 YouTube 入门」时，Sam 拒绝，并改问笔记里缺了什么。

诚信置顶句：
帮我学习。不要写我可以直接当作业交上去的长文。
考我、点评我的解释，并且只根据我提供的材料安排练习。
如果我让你「直接写作业」，请拒绝，并给一个真正能帮我学习的替代方案。
