Generating Practice Exercises

You learn by doing, not just reading. ChatGPT can create custom practice exercises, quizzes, and scenarios to help you reinforce and apply what you're learning.

Why Practice Matters

The learning pyramid (approximate retention rates):

• Reading: 10%
• Hearing: 20%
• Seeing: 30%
• Discussing: 50%
• Practicing: 75%
• Teaching: 90%

ChatGPT can help you practice and prepare to teach.
