Check the source and scope
Locate the passage or worked example that supports the answer. Confirm that the question tests the current syllabus rather than background material or an invented extension. If the source extraction is damaged, repair it first. A generated citation is useful only when it actually supports the specific claim.
Solve independently and inspect alternatives
Answer the question yourself before reading the generated key. Check units, assumptions, negation and whether more than one option could be correct. For open responses, write a short marking rubric. If the answer depends on an unstated convention, add it explicitly or remove the item.
Keep a reviewed set and report uncertainty
Label checked questions separately from unreviewed drafts. Correct or discard faulty items and inspect similar questions for the same error. Do not let a flawed item determine a weak-topic label or a confident score forecast. Use verified course examples or instructor guidance when the source itself is unclear.
Worked example
A generated question asks which method is 'best' but gives no objective or constraints. Two options are defensible. The reviewer replaces the vague criterion with the trade-off specified in the lecture, checks the answer against that passage and explains why the other options fail under the stated condition. The question becomes usable only after this clarification.
Before you finish
- The cited source supports the answer under the stated conditions.
- There is a defensible key or marking rubric.
- Unreviewed drafts and checked practice items are clearly separated.
