📖 Today’s lesson

Lesson 14: Ask for the reasoning, not the answer.

Asking a model to work step by step changes what it produces — and more importantly, gives you something you can inspect, check and learn from.

Why this matters: An answer you cannot check is worthless in an exam, because you will be alone with the next question. A worked method is a thing you can carry. Never accept the number on its own.
