Before you start
- A Galileo session with a source. Longer material (a full lecture or chapter) makes a better course.
- Plan needed: the 7-day free trial or a subscription.
Steps
- Open the session for your upload.
- Choose Generate Crash Course in the Galileo panel. You’ll see “Generating crash course” and “Galileo is writing the course live. New sections and chapters will appear as they stream in.”
- Start the first chapter. Choose it from the chapter list. Read the explanation.
- Take the Quick Quiz at the end of the chapter to check you understood it.
- Go deeper on any chapter you found hard. Galileo adds a more detailed section.
- Use the chapter’s study tools: Flashcards, Study Guide, Podcast or Ask Tutor, made just for that chapter.
- Take the Final Exam (“Test the full crash course”) when you’ve finished the chapters. You’ll see your score and can Retake it.
Tips
- Do one chapter a day in the weeks before an exam.
- Use the chapter podcast for revision on the bus or at the gym.
- Retake the Final Exam a few days later to check what has stuck.
If something goes wrong
- “Course generation failed. Try again.” Choose Generate Crash Course again.
- “Chapter still loading”. Wait for Galileo to finish writing that chapter before using its study tools.
- “No chapters ready yet. Generate at least one chapter before taking the Final Exam.” Open a chapter first, then try the Final Exam.
- “Course sources not available”. The original upload for this course was deleted. Upload it again and build a new course.
