Welcome! Looks like you have stumbled upon or been guided to my private course notes archive. Although this was not originally intended for public use, you are more than welcome to take a peek inside. That said, keep in mind that these notes were made by me, for me, so they might not be quite as helpful to you as they were for my own study routine.

Since my years of primary school, I have learned that one of the best ways to study for the materials being tested on is to create my own study notes and course summaries. This has been how I usually study for tests and quizzes for the past 10 years.

In my college freshman year, I obtained my first virtual private server to host my own webpages. This means that I have complete control over what I put on them and how I organize them. Previously, I mostly kept my notes in scattered places. Some of them were on Google Docs, some of them on my iPad notes, some of them were PDFs provided by teachers, etc. While it did eventually get the job done, it was quite a hassle to access them in a centralized fashion, especially due to the fact that I have up to 4 personal electronic devices: my MacBook, Mac Mini, iPad, and phone (yes, it's an Android). This has led me to eventually start gathering all my course notes under one folder on my website, separated by course numbers, so that I can easily access any of my notes anytime, anywhere, and on any device, just with one simple short link.

LLM Transparency

For the longest time possible, creating my own study notes and consolidating months of course content into a few pages of bullet-point summaries meant spending countless hours across many days to manually go through every concept and polish the document. While this often resulted in me mastering the materials the most, it was also extremely time-inefficient and prone to human error.

Over the years, I have found it more efficient to have LLMs generate the text while I spend proportionally more time consolidating, understanding, and polishing the notes that they generate. At the end of the day, understanding the course materials in-depth and being able to remember them in the future is what matters the most. Previously, it happened while I manually generated them using *AI. Now, it happens while I read and manually polish the LLM-generated text, still using *AI.

* AI = actual intelligence
