Develop a study plan to work through multiple assessments due around the same time. Establish a schedule to organising your time to go over weekly readings. Get suggestions on the necessary steps to reach a goal. Prompting for productivity can do this for you.
Productivity is about making things like study or work more efficient with time management and other organisational tools. Prompts for productivity are when you ask a genAI tool for help getting sorted with time, energy, planning and focus.
As a uni student, you have competing priorities that demand your time and attention. Balancing work, family, social activities and the demands of study is challenging. Prompts for productivity provides you with a way to use genAI tools to study efficiently and effectively. Whether it’s planning your study schedule, recommending study methods or assisting assessment planning and exam preparation, genAI is a valuable tool to focus your attention on what matters most throughout the trimester.
A key component of academic success is planning and using your time effectively. A well-structured study plan helps you stay organised, decrease stress, and maximise your learning experience. GenAI tools can be prompted by you to develop a personalised study plan. This might be in the form of helping you to identify achievable study goals or formulating a week-by-week study plan to help you progress through learning content.
