📘 Learning with AI – Episode 2: Smart Mistake Review with ChatGPT

Creating a mistake log (wrong answer notes) is a powerful way to learn.
But it's time-consuming to write down why you got a question wrong, what the correct answer is, and how to remember it later.
With ChatGPT, you can now turn every mistake into a smart learning opportunity.

💡 Real Example

❌ Question I got wrong:
"Which of the following best describes depreciation?"

Wrong Answer: "A method of increasing net income over time"
Correct Answer: "A systematic allocation of asset cost over its useful life"

🤖 ChatGPT’s Response:

The incorrect choice misinterprets depreciation as profit enhancement.
Depreciation actually spreads asset cost over useful life, reducing income.
Memory tip: Depreciation = decrease in asset value, not profit!

🎯 Final Tip

Mistake review with AI is not just about right or wrong.
It’s about understanding the “why” — and building long-term memory through reflection.

Let GPT guide you, but make sure you process and rewrite it in your own words.
