Course Syllabus

The Studying Paradox

You spend hours studying but barely remember what you reviewed. You re-read your notes three times and still blank on the exam. You highlight everything, which means you’ve highlighted nothing.

You’re not lazy. You’re not stupid. You’re using study methods that feel productive but aren’t. Re-reading, highlighting, and copying notes are the academic equivalent of running on a treadmill – lots of effort, zero distance.

AI changes this. Not by doing your work for you (that’s cheating and also terrible for learning), but by turning you into a dramatically more efficient learner who studies less and remembers more.

What You’ll Learn

This course teaches you to use AI as a study superpower – ethically:

  • Learn faster with AI-powered active recall and spaced repetition
  • Take meaningful notes that connect ideas instead of transcribing lectures
  • Write better papers with AI as your tutor, not your ghostwriter
  • Prepare for exams using techniques that actually work
  • Manage your time so you’re not cramming at 2 AM
  • Collaborate effectively on group projects without the usual chaos
