to understand the course material, any topic that is unclear from the course

Sometimes, but rarely, I send the given AI program a picture of my study notes (like umbrella categories such as paradigmes) and ask for a sensible hierarchy or timeline. It's to give me a bigger picture of the knowledge that is in the curriculum, as this helps me understand the literature more in-depth

to understand complex topics and subjects in an easier way

to get a quick overview over a subject or theory

I use it mainly to explain topics in an easier language. To fully understand a topic.

to understand a concept that I did not well understand either during a lecture or because the PowerPoint slides provided by the course are not clear"

I use it to understand the articles and find relevant information within the mentioned article. I also use it to paraphrase different paragraphs.

I mostly use it to understand something that's har for me to comprehend. Like a very complicated sentence. I also tell it to cite sources often, and then go to those sources to understand it on a deeper level.

I often find it difficult to focus on reading, so i often use NotebookLM to generate a podcast about the uploadet material before or after a lecture
