how to ace any uni theory course

> download all pdfs

> merge pdfs into one

> compress

> write a very specific prompt for gemini to turn these into anki cards separated by a semicolon

> do 50 anki cards a day for 3/4 weeks before exam

not a single lecture attended top of my class (ku leuven). feels like cheating honestly
