A prompt to try
Design application practice with me for [TOPIC]. Prior knowledge: [PRIOR KNOWLEDGE]. Learning goal: [OBSERVABLE SKILL]. Time: [TIME]. Available learning materials: [MATERIALS]. Begin with three short tasks: explain a concept, apply an example and spot an error. Do not give solutions yet; wait for my answers. Then distinguish gaps in knowledge, misconceptions and careless mistakes using those answers. Based on that, create three exercises of increasing difficulty. At least one must apply the principle in a new context. Give only one task per round and, after my attempt, provide focused feedback and a next hint. Finish with a new test without help. Define verifiable criteria for a correct answer beforehand. Compare the starting and final tests using those criteria, then suggest a next learning step. Do not claim progress without supporting evidence from my answers.
