Course Material Blind Spot Review

Fill this prompt

Reviews teaching material for blind spots such as unstated assumptions or unclear instructions and returns prioritized actionable findings.

Prompt Template

Here is my teaching material:

{{Teaching Material: e.g. Paste the Slide or Handout Text Here}}

Audience: {{Audience:[audiences]}}

Review the material from the perspective of a well meaning but incorruptible colleague with the following focus: {{Review Focus: *Assumed Prior Knowledge, Clarity of Task Instructions and Wording, Structure and Pacing of the Lesson, Time Budget - Does the Material Fit the Lesson, Everything Together}}.

Output the findings as a numbered list. Each finding must name:
- The location such as the slide the section or a quote of the affected line.
- What exactly the problem is.
- The point at which students would disengage because of it.
- A concrete suggestion for how to change it.

Sort the findings by severity not by their order in the document.

Pay particular attention to prior knowledge that is silently assumed without ever being named.

Do not include praise or a summary of strengths. If a section is fine do not mention it.

Name at the end the single change that would make the biggest difference.
