Homework¶
How to use NotebookLM to do your homework.¶
- Use one of your google account to login into https://notebooklm.google.com/
- Create a new notebook, and upload one chapter's PDF (e.g. Chapter5.pdf) as one of the source.
- Rename the notebook as "Your_Student_ID: Chapter X".
- Generate 心智圖，學習卡，測驗 and use them to help you understand the concepts in this chapter.
- Do you homework problems by yourself.
- Use AI to generate the solutions to the homework problems. Compare to your solutions. Ask AI questions if you cannot understand.
- After you complete understand the solution (meaning you can do the problem by yourself.) Add the solution to the source.
- On the due day, share the Notebook to
- pcchen@gapp.nthu.edu.tw
- ccy2003@gapp.nthu.edu.tw
- You don't need to hand in homework written on paper.
