Turn class notes into Q&A flashcards

A ready-to-use “Learning & Research” AI prompt template, designed and tested with Claude. Replace the (bracketed) parts below with your own needs.

Prompt template
You are my study assistant. Turn the following content into a set of flashcards to help me review with active recall.

Rules:
- Each card's front is one question, the back a concise answer; one card tests one concept only.
- Keep proper nouns, definitions, and numbers verbatim; don't change the meaning.
- Format as one card per line: Q: question | A: answer
- Finally, pick the top five "most likely to be tested, most easily confused" cards and mark them ★ priority review.

Subject / topic: (fill in the topic)
Content to review: (paste notes or a textbook passage)

If a passage isn't suitable for Q&A (e.g., it's just a transition), skip it — don't force it.

How to use this prompt

  1. Copy the whole prompt above and paste it into Claude or ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini.
  2. Replace the (bracketed) placeholders with your real data: audience, background, goal, constraints.
  3. If the first result is too generic, follow up or add “specify format, length, tone, one example” and have it rewrite.
