What they did
An oncologist finished Harvard's free CS50 course on edX and wanted to practice, not just watch. He pasted the free course transcript into Claude Code and asked for an HTML page of questions that test his understanding. When he answers a question, the part of the transcript it covers gets struck through. A few minutes later he had 84 practice questions.

Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Here is the transcript of a course I just finished: [paste transcript]. Build a single HTML file I can open in my browser with practice questions that test real understanding, not trivia. Cover every section of the transcript. Show the transcript next to the questions, and when I answer a question correctly, strike through the part of the transcript it covers so I can see what I still haven't mastered. Explain the right answer when I get one wrong.
