I recently published some articles on how to use ChatGPT to become a better student or learner.
When researching different applications for this technology, I came across the idea that even those who use ChatGPT for cheating may profit from it in ways other than just receiving better grades.
Here is my controversial take on this:
For that, let’s start with a slight digression. I remembered that
back in school, I have had a teacher who recommended creating cheat sheets for oneself before exams.
He even told us how to do it!
For those who are interested, he advocated these three steps:
Prepare detailed summaries of all meaningful topics for the exam
Condense these descriptions to the most important points while mapping their relationship
Reduce it even further to the single most crucial keywords which would make up your cheat sheet
The intention was not to cheat on an exam but rather to work with the relevant material.
