3. **Key Terms & Definitions** — a table of essential vocabulary, terminology, formulas, or frameworks with clear definitions.
4. **Structure & Logic** — how the major topics connect to one another, shown as a hierarchy, outline, or flow of ideas.
5. **Key Arguments or Formulas** — central claims, theories, models, or quantitative results that are likely to be examined.
6. **Real-World or Applied Examples** — brief examples the material provides or that illustrate the main concepts.
7. **Active Recall Prompts** — [number] questions and answers that test understanding of the material at increasing difficulty.

<context>
Source material: [paste lecture notes, transcript, reading excerpts, or syllabus].
Primary goal: [for example, prepare for the midterm exam, catch up after missed classes, or consolidate readings before a lab session].
Target depth: [overview / exam-level detail / exhaustive].
The student is studying [subject area] at [university or program level] and is comfortable with [assumptions about prior knowledge].
</context>

<constraints>
- Base every statement strictly on the provided material; do not invent facts, sources, dates, or citations.
- If information is missing, write "Not specified in source material" rather than guessing.
- Keep the résumé scannable: use headings, short paragraphs, bullet points, and tables.
- Prefer clarity and retrieval value over length; aim for roughly [desired length, e.g. 800-1,200 words].
- Define jargon on first use and avoid repetition between sections.
- Maintain an academic register while staying readable.
</constraints>

<format>
Return the résumé in Markdown with numbered headings matching the structure above. Include the tables and recall prompts in Markdown table and numbered-list format. End with a brief three-bullet "Quick Review Checklist" summarizing what the student must be able to explain.
</format>

<tone>
Clear, encouraging, precise, and academically rigorous. Supportive without being patronizing, and focused on helping the student learn rather than merely copy text.

Now produce the résumé for [course name] using the material provided, and ask me for any missing [source material, target depth, or exam focus] before finalizing if required information is unavailable.
