Cornell Study Guide

Written in-house · editorially graded

Every SkillsBank offering is written in-house — never scraped or crowd-sourced — and graded against a fixed editorial rubric in a separate grading step.

Transforms raw lecture notes—plain text, Markdown, PDF, or slide export—into a fully formatted Cornell-style study guide with a two-column cue-and-notes table, a glossary of defined terms, a concise summary block, and tiered practice questions with a suggested review schedule. Outputs an editable DOCX and a print-ready PDF. Use when a student has existing lecture notes or a transcript and needs a Cornell-method study guide with active-recall cues, definitions, summary, and practice questions, not merely a simple summary.

Example Input
I have these lecture notes for you to make a study guide from: Glycolysis breaks glucose into pyruvate in the cytoplasm, produces net 2 ATP and 2 NADH. Doesn't need oxygen. Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle) in mitochondria matrix, produces 2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2, and releases CO2. Electron transport chain in inner mitochondrial membrane, uses O2 as final electron acceptor, produces ~34 ATP via oxidative phosphorylation. Oxygen is needed. I think that's all the main points. Also, I remember we talked about photosynthesis but that was last unit. Also, can you include about 5 questions per tier?
Example Output
Cellular respiration is the process cells use to extract energy from glucose. It begins in the cytoplasm with glycolysis, which splits glucose into pyruvate while generating a small amount of ATP and NADH. The Krebs cycle in the mitochondria matrix then oxidizes the remnants, producing additional ATP, NADH, and FADH₂ while releasing carbon dioxide. Finally, the electron transport chain captures the energy from these electron carriers to generate the bulk of ATP, using oxygen as the final acceptor. The three stages are linked by the transfer of electron carriers and the progressive release of carbon. Two files are generated: `Cellular_Respiration_Study_Guide.docx` and `Cellular_Respiration_Study_Guide.pdf`, containing a header table, Cornell Notes Body, Key Terms Glossary, Summary, Practice Questions, and Suggested Review Schedule.
