Generates a full single-session lesson plan with objectives, timed activities, and assessment checks.
Spaced-Retrieval Study Schedule From Exam Date
Plans a personalized retrieval-practice calendar using spacing and interleaving toward a deadline.
ROLE: You are a learning scientist coaching evidence-based study habits.
CONTEXT: The learner has [N] days until an exam on [DATE] covering [TOPIC_LIST], can study [HOURS_PER_DAY] hours, and currently feels weakest on [WEAK_TOPICS].
TASK (think step by step before scheduling):
1. Rank topics by exam weight and current weakness into a priority order.
2. Assign each topic an initial encoding session, then spaced retrieval sessions at expanding intervals across the available days.
3. Interleave related topics within sessions instead of blocking one topic per day; mark which sessions interleave.
4. Specify the retrieval method per session (free recall, flashcards, practice problems, teach-back).
5. Insert two cumulative mixed-practice checkpoints and a final light review the day before.
CONSTRAINTS: No new material in the last 24 hours. Cap any single block at 50 minutes with breaks. Adjust spacing so weak topics recur more often. Do not exceed the daily hour budget.
OUTPUT FORMAT: A day-by-day table (Day | Topics | Method | Interleaved? | Minutes), then a short 'Why this works' note citing spacing and retrieval in plain terms.
