1) Prepare your notes for reuse

AI performs best when the input is readable and organized. Before generating anything, skim the lecture notes and remove formatting clutter. If your notes are a mix of headings, bullets, and side comments, keep the headings and convert informal notes into plain sentences.

Two quick wins:

• Mark sections (e.g., “Definitions”, “Example”, “Limitations”).
• Preserve author intent by keeping any stated goals or key takeaways.

2) Extract the teaching targets (concepts + skills)

Not every sentence should become a question. Instead, identify what the lecture is trying to teach. For each section, extract:

• Concepts (terms, principles, formulas, frameworks).
• Relationships (cause-and-effect, “if X then Y”, comparisons).
• Skills (apply a rule, interpret an example, choose the best explanation).

Then write a short “teaching target” line for each concept, phrased as a learner outcome.

3) Draft quiz questions (with answers first)

Generate question drafts section-by-section. Start with the answer key before you worry about distractors. When the answer is precise, the question becomes easier to validate.

Use multiple question types to reflect different learning goals:

• Definition checks for vocabulary and core statements.
• Application prompts based on the lecture’s examples.
• Comparison questions (European vs American house edge, or any “A is better than B when…” style logic).
• Misconception probes that ask learners to choose what the lecture explicitly warned against.

4) Refine for fairness: clarity, difficulty, and single-best answers

After drafting, do a structured edit pass. Read every item as if you are a student who missed context. If a question depends on a subtle assumption, either add that context or rewrite it so the question stands alone.

Refinement checklist:

• ✓ Clarity: the prompt is short and unambiguous.
• ✓ Answerability: the answer is supported by your notes.
• ✓ Difficulty: the item matches the target level (intro vs advanced).
• ✓ Distractors: wrong options are plausible, but clearly incorrect given the lecture.

5) Assemble quizzes with coverage and pacing

Once each section yields a set of validated items, assemble the quiz. Aim for coverage across sections and question types. A simple method is to allocate a percentage of questions to each teaching target, then balance difficulty.

Finally, include an answer key review. Spot-check a few items end-to-end: prompt → expected answer → feedback explanation. If the explanation doesn’t teach, revise the item rather than adding more text.
