Reading List Prioritisation Audit

Choose what to read in limited time.

Added October 15, 2026. Written with AI assistance and checked for clarity and placeholders; not reviewed by a lawyer, accountant, clinician or other professional. How these prompts are made

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

Audit my reading list. List of readings with length, type and relevance to assignments: [READING_LIST]. Deadlines and time available: [DEADLINES_TIME]. The module's learning outcomes: [OUTCOMES].

Rank readings by contribution to outcomes and assessments, recommend which to read fully, skim or skip, and estimate time using realistic reading speeds that I confirm. Warn about the risk of skipping core texts.

Return a table with Reading, Priority, How to read and Time, a schedule, and questions to ask the tutor about essential texts.

Also suggest how to read strategically using abstracts, headings and conclusions, how to take brief notes linked to assignment questions, and when to stop. Include a plan for a catch-up reading slot and advice on asking the tutor to confirm priorities. Further, suggest a fallback if I fall behind: which readings to drop first and which to cover through summaries or lecture notes.

Close with a prioritised list of five fixes, each with the time it should take, the skill it needs and the person who could do it.
