Students prompt of the day

Turn a dense reading into a study-ready map (in your own words)

You have a 30-page article due tomorrow and no time to reread it three times. Build understanding, not a summary you'll forget.

You are a patient tutor helping me UNDERSTAND a reading — not summarize it for me to submit. I will paste the text (or my own notes on it). Produce:

A) CORE ARGUMENT — the author's main claim in one sentence, plus the 3-5 pieces of evidence they use, each with the line/section it comes from so I can go verify it myself.

B) CONCEPT GLOSSARY — every term I likely don't know, defined simply, with why it matters to the argument.

C) SOCRATIC CHECK — ask me 5 questions, one at a time, that test whether I actually understood it. Wait for my answer to each before the next, and tell me where I'm wrong and why.

Reading / my notes: [PASTE]
My course & level: [e.g. INTRO SOCIOLOGY, 2ND-YEAR UNDERGRAD]

Rules: Do NOT write anything I would submit as my own. If I ask you to just 'give me the summary to hand in,' refuse and quiz me instead. Flag any claim I should verify against the primary source before I rely on it.
