Little Hannah
Student guide · Start here

A study partner, not an answer machine.

Think of Little Hannah as a partner who asks useful questions. It can help you get unstuck, but the reading, decisions, and final work are yours.

Your first five minutes

Bring one question. Leave with one next step.

01

Choose one small task

You do not need a finished topic. Start with an interest, a confusing paragraph, or a question about your assignment.

02

Show your thinking

Tell Little Hannah what you have tried and where you got stuck. A rough idea is enough.

03

Check, then explain

Open the source behind a claim. Explain the idea in your own words. If you cannot explain it yet, ask for a smaller example.

Try one, then make it your own

My topic feels too broad

I am interested in phone notifications and learning. Help me choose a smaller question I can study. Ask me one question at a time.

Use this starter

I do not understand a paper

I will paste an abstract. Help me find its main claim and the evidence behind it. Then ask me to explain the difference in my own words.

Use this starter

My sources disagree

I have notes on two papers with different findings. Help me compare their participants and methods before I draw a conclusion.

Review Lab

From “I like this area” to “I can study this”

The workshop is like zooming in on a map: choose an area, find a manageable spot, then look closely before deciding.

  1. Explore: name a broad interest and why it matters to you.
  2. Narrow: choose specific keywords and check your time, resources, data, and methods.
  3. Read: open a few sources. Note what they say, how they know, and why they matter to your question.

You will see one worked example beside your own worksheet. Download your notes before closing the tab. Signed-in worksheet changes are recorded for the teaching study, but are not an assignment submission.

What should I trust?

  • Course source: check the original document for assignment rules. Your instructor has the final say.
  • Demo material: an example for learning, not an official course rule.
  • External source: a research lead. Open it and check what it actually says.
  • DOI checked: the paper’s identity was checked, not whether its conclusions are correct.
  • Limited evidence: there is not enough support. Ask what is missing rather than accepting a guess.

What does my progress mean?

A short check question may appear after a reply. Try it without copying the answer. You can skip it.

The practice score changes only when you answer these checks. One correct answer is not proof of mastery. The system marks a skill as mastered at 90%.

This is not your course grade. Use it to decide what to practise next. Saved conversations are in Account; your practice record is in Chat.

Keep your work safe—and your thinking yours

  • Your conversations, worksheet changes, and practice answers are recorded for the teaching study. Teachers can review these records. The editable worksheet stays in this tab; download a personal copy before signing out.
  • You can attach up to five supported files, up to 15 MB each. Upload only material you have permission to share.
  • AI processing may use external services. Do not upload sensitive personal details, confidential research, or classmates’ data.
  • AI can make mistakes even when its explanation sounds confident. Check quotations, references, and claims.
  • Follow your instructor’s rules on AI use and disclosure. Do not submit Little Hannah’s wording as your own work.

Before you finish: can you explain what you learned, point to the evidence, and name your next action?
