Study Guide for Computer Science
ChatGPT Prompt
Create a study guide for Computer Science covering {topics} for a {exam_format} exam in {timeframe}. Organise by concept rather than by lecture order, since exams test connections. For each concept give: a plain-language explanation, the precise definition expected, a worked example, the common misconception, and how it typically appears in questions. Prioritise doing over reading: implement the data structures and algorithms rather than memorising their complexities, and build a complexity table you derive rather than recall. Build in active recall and spaced repetition rather than re-reading: supply 20 self-test questions with answers, and a schedule spreading review across the available time with deliberate revisit points. Add a one-page condensed summary for the final day, and mark the three highest-yield topics against the two that are commonly over-studied for the marks available.
💡 Pro Tip: Replace placeholders in [BRACKETS] with your specific information for best results.

Essay Outline on Climate Change
Create a detailed essay outline on Climate Change for a {word_count} {essay_type} at {academic_level}. Start with a thesis that makes a contestable claim — if no informed person could disagree with it, it is a topic statement, not a thesis. Narrow the topic hard — 'climate change' is not an essay, 'the equity problem in carbon pricing' is. Separate scientific consensus from policy disagreement, and cite primary assessment reports rather than news coverage of them. Structure: an introduction that establishes stakes and ends on the thesis; body sections each with one claim, the evidence that supports it, and the analysis connecting evidence to claim; a genuine counter-argument section that states the strongest opposing case rather than a weak version of it, and answers it; and a conclusion that extends rather than repeats. For each body section give the topic sentence, 2-3 evidence types to find, and the transition. Add the five sources to seek and the two most likely weaknesses a marker will attack.
Essay Outline on AI Ethics
Create a detailed essay outline on AI Ethics for a {word_count} {essay_type} at {academic_level}. Start with a thesis that makes a contestable claim — if no informed person could disagree with it, it is a topic statement, not a thesis. Pick one tension and hold it: algorithmic bias, labour displacement, accountability for autonomous decisions, or consent in training data. Avoid speculative far-future framing where current, documented harms make the stronger case. Structure: an introduction that establishes stakes and ends on the thesis; body sections each with one claim, the evidence that supports it, and the analysis connecting evidence to claim; a genuine counter-argument section that states the strongest opposing case rather than a weak version of it, and answers it; and a conclusion that extends rather than repeats.

Essay Outline on the Impact of Social Media
Create a detailed essay outline on the Impact of Social Media for a {word_count} {essay_type} at {academic_level}. Start with a thesis that makes a contestable claim — if no informed person could disagree with it, it is a topic statement, not a thesis. Be rigorous about correlation versus causation — most popular claims here outrun the evidence. Specify population and platform rather than generalising, and engage with studies that found null or mixed results. Structure: an introduction that establishes stakes and ends on the thesis; body sections each with one claim, the evidence that supports it, and the analysis connecting evidence to claim; a genuine counter-argument section that states the strongest opposing case rather than a weak version of it, and answers it; and a conclusion that extends rather than repeats.

Essay Outline on Education Reform
Create a detailed essay outline on Education Reform for a {word_count} {essay_type} at {academic_level}. Start with a thesis that makes a contestable claim — if no informed person could disagree with it, it is a topic statement, not a thesis. Ground it in a specific system and policy rather than reform in the abstract. Address implementation cost and the interests of teachers, families and administrators, which is where most reform arguments are weakest. Structure: an introduction that establishes stakes and ends on the thesis; body sections each with one claim, the evidence that supports it, and the analysis connecting evidence to claim; a genuine counter-argument section that states the strongest opposing case rather than a weak version of it, and answers it; and a conclusion that extends rather than repeats.

Start with a thesis that makes a contestable claim — if no informed person could disagree with it, it is a topic statement, not a thesis. Use person-first, non-stigmatising language and stay at the level of policy, access or evidence rather than offering clinical guidance. Distinguish prevalence changes from changes in diagnosis and reporting. Structure: an introduction that establishes stakes and ends on the thesis; body sections each with one claim, the evidence that supports it, and the analysis connecting evidence to claim; a genuine counter-argument section that states the strongest opposing case rather than a weak version of it, and answers it; and a conclusion that extends rather than repeats.

Research Paper Structure for Psychology
Structure a research paper in Psychology on {topic} for {target_length}. Cover: a title that states the finding, an abstract following the question-method-result-implication pattern in under 250 words, an introduction moving from field context to the specific gap to the research question, a literature review organised thematically rather than chronologically, methodology detailed enough for replication, results reported without interpretation, a discussion that interprets and situates them, limitations stated honestly, and a conclusion. Use APA structure. Report effect sizes and confidence intervals alongside p-values, preregistration status if applicable, and be explicit about sample characteristics and generalisability — WEIRD-sample limitations belong in the discussion, not buried. For each section give the purpose, target length as a share of the whole, and the two mistakes most often made there. Add the citation style conventions and a section on which claims require a citation and which do not.
