3 Quickstart
You can disable parts of your syllabus in the app to more closely reflect your progress, which will be explained later.
Step 1: Get a syllabus
The app doesn't have that feature so yeah
Step 2: Finalise your syllabus
The syllabusing syllaber is designed to turn any roughness of syllabus documents(from actual specific syllabus to courses that just give you a weekly topics schedule and nothing else) into a standard, uniform syllabus that is granular enough so the app can generate questions on them. As you use the app you should be keeping an eye on the accuracy of your syllabus, and be sure to attach questions you have encountered to your dot points (TODO:) so that the generator can produce questions that are closer to what you have in assessments.
Step 3: Trim your syllabus
If you go to the contents page you can see your entire syllabus in a tree like structure, which for each deck goes topic -> category -> dot point. You can interact with any of the items, and applying an action to the parent(toggling their visibility for example) will apply it to all the child items. Disabled items are equivalent to suspended items in Anki, meaning that they will not show up to the scheduler.
Optional and experimental: Dependencies
The AI can generate dependencies in the syllabus, which are attached to each dot point, which are essentially pre requisite knowledges. This feature isn't tested, but if you think what it generated makes sense then you can go into settings and turn on Knowledge Dependency Handling.
Step 4: Put yo openai key in
Go to settings
Step 5: Go through the rest of your settings
Read 4 Settings for the full docs. You only need to watch out for:
- Max concurrent generations: If you've just signed up to an openai developer account and didn't charge $100, you will likely have a very low token count per minute and hence anything 3 and above will make the API complain. If you did charge $100 then damn you are rich
- Max new cards per day/Max review cards per day: If you are new to apps that use a spaced repetition algorithm, you should keep the new cards number low, and the max review cards per day to be 10x the new cards number, at the minimum. Although at the first it seems like nothing, due cards can slowly pile up, and you probably don't want to be doing 100 questions a day. As you revise more later on though your due dates slowly get extended and it will slowly be less of a chore.
