Relevance to Me

Thursday's midterm is open guide. Your guide is what you paste into this week's three forms. Today: Mid Term Prep Day 2 — the Content Corpus covers Sep 15 – 18. Monday's chunks are saved in Monday's form and already count toward your 3,000-word study-guide budget.

Your midterm-prep data processing pipeline — same three stages as Monday, new Content Corpus:

  1. Sweep the data. Open the Google Doc, read every ¶, and strike every ¶ you already know cold. What remains is the still-shaky data you actually need to study.
  2. Model the data. Split the remaining ¶s into four roughly-equal chunks, one per MuggsOfStudy tab. Add a study preference prompt (flashcards · quiz me · simpler words · an example · table it · trip me up). Generate one AI Generated Output per chunk. If a chunk came back weak, re-prompt with a different shape.
  3. Persist to your study guide. Submit each Chunk N AI Generated Output into item N of today's form. That is what gets printed on Thursday's midterm guide. An empty item prints as a blank — watch your 3,000-word study-guide budget.

Board Question

A chunk came back vague. Change the prompt, cut the input, or both?

Today's Pipeline · Mid Term Prep Day 2

Same three stages as Monday. New Content Corpus: Sep 15 – 18. MuggsOfStudy starts empty today — that is normal. Monday's form is saved.

  1. Sweep the data. Open Doc 2. Read every ¶. Strike what you already know cold.
  2. Model the data. Four chunks, one per MuggsOfStudy tab. Add a study preference prompt. Generate.
  3. Persist to your study guide. Chunk 1 → item 1, and so on. Submit.

Output vague? Cut the chunk smaller, or ask for a different shape ("quiz me on layer order"), then Generate again.

Work time starts now and runs until the exit ticket pops up. Goal: four filled items.

The week's arc · midterm study guide
Mon Sep 28 · CONTENT CORPUS 1
Mid Term Prep Day 1 — everything from Aug 31 – Sep 14. Read the Content Corpus, strike what you know, chunk what's left into MuggsOfStudy, paste into Mon's form (four items).
Tue Sep 29 · CONTENT CORPUS 2
Mid Term Prep Day 2 — everything from Sep 15 – 18. Same loop, fresh Content Corpus, fresh tool session, Tue's form.
Wed Sep 30 · CONTENT CORPUS 3
Mid Term Prep Day 3 — everything from Sep 21 – 25. Same loop, Wed's form. After Wednesday's cutoff, the guide gets printed.
Thu Oct 1 · MIDTERM
All multiple choice. Your printed guide sits on the desk with the test — the only reference allowed. Empty form items become empty sides on your guide.
The rule
Whatever you submitted by Wednesday's cutoff is what gets printed. Each day is independent — Monday's form does not carry into Tuesday. Submit before each bell.
