Who this page is for
For students organizing lecture notes, study groups preparing shared revision sheets, and teaching assistants editing authorized class summaries.
Turn fragments into a usable study structure
Start by separating definitions, explanations, examples, and open questions. Keep the lecture date, topic, and slide or reading references attached to their material. A heading such as “Conditions for using the normal approximation” is more useful than “Important information” because it tells you what the passage helps you recall.
Revise one concept at a time. Ask for complete sentences where fragments hide relationships, but retain bullets where they support quick review. Do not expand every abbreviation automatically: “CI” might mean confidence interval in statistics but something different elsewhere. Define it from the lecture context. Leave unresolved shorthand marked for checking rather than letting a fluent rewrite supply an unsupported meaning.
Protect the details that carry the argument
Academic readability depends on qualifications. Words such as “may,” “approximately,” and “under these assumptions” often carry more meaning than the surrounding sentence. Preserve equations, units, dates, numerical examples, and distinctions between association and causation. When revising an experiment summary, keep the sample, comparison group, and limitations visible.
Check quotations against the source and preserve their quotation marks and citations. Do not turn a paraphrase into a quotation or attach an existing reference to a newly added claim. If a transcript gives a suspicious technical term, compare it with the slide or assigned reading. Flag disagreements explicitly; do not silently choose whichever version sounds more authoritative.
Use Academic mode within your course rules
Before submitting text, remove classmates’ personal information and check whether sharing lecture transcripts or teaching materials with an external tool is permitted. Give a narrow instruction: “Improve these notes for revision; preserve terminology and references; do not add facts; mark ambiguities.” Humanizely offers free requests of up to 500 words, so split longer notes at topic boundaries rather than halfway through a derivation.
Review the output beside the original and record substantive corrections. Your interpretations, analysis, and submitted work must remain your own. Follow institutional and assignment policies, including disclosure requirements. Editing permission for private revision does not automatically authorize AI assistance on assessed coursework; never use rewriting to conceal prohibited assistance.
