2. A glossary of every important term used in the sources, with plain-English definitions.
3. The 8–12 core concepts, each with a one-line explanation and the source it comes from.
4. 5 worked examples drawn directly from the sources.
5. A 10-question self-test mixing recall, application, and reasoning. Put the answer key at the end.

Keep the tone direct. Assume the reader is smart but new to the material.

The 7-day study scheduleTell it your deadline, daily hours, weak topics and when your brain works best — it builds a day-by-day plan that puts hard material in your high-energy slots, schedules the practice exam days before the deadline, and keeps the last day review-only.
The high-yield cheat sheetEverything compressed to one page of what exams actually reward: key definitions, formulas, dates, and the three or four ideas everything else depends on — each item cited.
Practice exam in your professor's styleYou describe how your professor writes exams — question mix, favourite phrasings, emphasised topics, time pressure — and it generates a full practice paper in that exact style, with an answer key and flags on what to revise.
The oral examinerA strict but fair examiner: one question at a time, grades each answer out of 5, tells you what a full-mark answer would have added, then asks a harder follow-up. It will not move on until you answer.
