Choose your starting point
Tell the assistant what you already understand and where you are stuck. Ask for one explanation, a worked example and a practice question. For mathematics, request intermediate steps you can check. For a text, provide the relevant passage so the explanation is about your material rather than a guessed book.
Explain recursion to a beginner, show one small example, then ask me a question without revealing the solution.Try it in UnioAI
Test your understanding
Attempt the practice question before asking for feedback. Compare important claims with course material, official documentation or a trusted textbook. The assistant can make convincing mistakes. Follow your institution’s rules for assessed work and avoid submitting an unreviewed generated answer as your own reasoning.
