AI content is too long or short for intended lesson format

Specify exact word counts or time requirements in your AI prompts. Use prompts like Create a 500-word lesson that takes 5 minutes to read. Break long content into multiple lessons or combine short pieces.

Students report AI content lacks practical examples
