Student workflow
Get help with the next step, not a substitute for learning.
Use AI for homework hints, revision questions and rubric-based feedback while keeping your own reasoning, checking sources and following course rules.

Check what your course permits
Different courses permit different uses of AI. Ask your teacher when unsure, keep the relevant policy and do not assume ‘editing’ is permitted in every assessment. Do not use these templates during a prohibited test or submit generated work as your own.
A useful session starts with your attempt. Ask for one diagnostic question, a hint or feedback on a criterion. When the assistant gives the answer too early, ask it to return to questions and let you do the next step.
I am studying [topic] at [level]. My course allows [permitted use]. Here is my attempt [attempt]. Ask one question to identify my misunderstanding, then give the smallest useful hint. Wait for my response; do not write the final assignment.
Separate understanding from answer recognition
Recognising a polished explanation is not the same as producing the reasoning yourself. Try a similar problem without the original numbers, explain a step in your own words or answer a question without notes. Those activities reveal what still needs practice.
AI can also make mistakes. Check explanations against the course material, especially when notation or definitions differ. Ask where an analogy breaks rather than assuming it works in every case.
Create one new practice question about [concept] at [level] using the course definitions [extract]. Wait for my answer. Review the reasoning, not only the final number, then ask a transfer question in a different context. Flag anything the extract does not establish.
Use essay feedback to make your own revision
Give the question, rubric and your draft. Ask for evidence of a weakness and a question that helps you improve it. Avoid a full rewrite that replaces your argument or conceals authorship. Never accept invented quotations or bibliography entries because they look plausible.
Review my draft against this rubric. For the two most important gaps, quote my passage, explain the criterion and ask a question that helps me revise it myself. Do not supply replacement paragraphs. Check whether the cited source passages actually support my claims.
Finish by showing what you can do unaided
End the session with a short independent attempt. Keep a note of what help you used and disclose it as your course requires. Parents and tutors can ask the learner to explain their decisions, not just display a completed sheet.

About this workflow
This is an original AI-assisted editorial workflow. Illustrative scenarios are not customer case studies, and the prompts have not been systematically evaluated on live models. Check consequential outputs against your sources and use qualified review where needed.
