Blogger Shares 9 Claude Prompts Covering Curriculum Design to Mock Exams

On September 25, blogger thisdudelikesAI released a set of 9 Claude prompt templates for accelerated learning, forming a complete pipeline from course design to pre-exam simulation. The core pitch: feed in your textbook or notes, and within minutes get a 30-day curriculum, flashcards, mock exam questions, and Feynman-style explanations—an experience like having a "personal MIT professor."

Confirmed

• Prompt 1, "Syllabus Architect": after uploading textbooks/notes, have the AI list all core concepts, learning order, and prerequisites, and highlight the 20% of highest-value concepts.
• Prompt 2, "30-Day Curriculum": based on the concept map and your available minutes per day, generate a 30-day plan with readings pinned to exact page numbers/chapters, 10-minute active recall drills, checkpoint questions before moving on, plus built-in spaced repetition and a weak-point repair week.
• Prompt 3, "Feynman Explainer": explains difficult concepts across 4 levels, escalating from everyday analogies a 12-year-old understands, to simple high-school examples, to formal undergraduate definitions.
• Prompt 8, "Knowledge Map": builds a concept map for a studied subject, marking foundational vs. derived concepts, 3 non-obvious connections most students miss, and links to another subject you've already mastered, output as a text hierarchy importable into mind-mapping tools.
• Prompt 9, "Final Boss": used 48 hours before the exam—have the AI play a tough MIT professor conducting an oral exam: 10 questions of escalating difficulty, pressing with "why" or demanding proofs for vague answers, 2 cross-chapter synthesis questions, and a final pass/fail verdict.

Why it matters

This series expands prompt engineering from isolated tricks into a complete learning workflow (concept map → plan → explanation → review → mock exam), showing reusable, template-driven ways to apply general LLMs to personalized learning—ready for students and self-learners to adopt directly.
