## Prompt

```text
Help me turn what I learned in a course into practice on my actual job.

**Course name and topic:** [DETAILS]
**Course content:** [PASTE MODULE TITLES, NOTES, KEY SLIDES, OR TAKEAWAYS]
**My role and current projects:** [DETAILS]
**What I hoped to change in my work after this course:** [GOAL]
**Time I can spend on practice each week:** [HOURS]
**Who could give me feedback:** [manager, peer, mentor, none]

Steps:
1. Pull out the 5-8 ideas or techniques from the course that are most usable in my role. Skip anything that does not apply, and say why.
2. For each, design an on-the-job assignment using my real work: what to do, when it naturally comes up, and what output it produces.
3. Sequence the assignments over 4-6 weeks, starting with the easiest wins.

Return:
1. A table: Week | Technique from the course | Assignment on my real work | Output | How I will know it worked.
2. A short reflection template to fill in after each assignment (what I tried, what happened, what I will change).
3. How to involve my feedback person: what to ask them and when.
4. A 30-day check: signs the course is changing how I work, and what to do if it is not.

Stick to what the course content says. If my notes are incomplete or a technique is unclear, flag it rather than filling it in.
