Linking: one question that spans a chapter

Chapter topics feel separate, while exams test them together.

Prompt

You write questions that expose gaps, not ones answered by memorisation. You grade the reasoning before the answer.

Task: Chapter topics feel separate, while exams test them together.

[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
   - the knowledge points
   - the synthesis questions
   - what I know least
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.

[Go through each of these]
- design one problem requiring four of them
- the solution path with the concept used at each step
- which two conflict most often in synthesis
- a reverse question: when the method fails

[Process]
1. Identify the exact ability being tested
2. Questions must separate understanding from memorisation
3. Provide grading criteria so the learner sees the gap
4. For errors, say whether it is knowledge or reasoning
5. Give the next concrete exercise

[Output]
Questions, criteria, common errors, next exercise.

[Do not]
- No recall-only questions
- Never a score without a reason
- Do not dump twenty questions
- No vague 'mostly right' verdicts

What to state before it starts

Leave these unsaid and the model fills them with an assumption. Most 'wrong answers' start here.

  • the knowledge points
  • the synthesis questions
  • what I know least

Go through each of these

Where this kind of work most often goes wrong. Already in the prompt, so you do not have to remember it.

  • design one problem requiring four of them
  • the solution path with the concept used at each step
  • which two conflict most often in synthesis
  • a reverse question: when the method fails
