Motivation:

You want to use AI to suggest updates to a course syllabus.

Suggestions:

1. Install Claude Code.
2. Open claude and provide these instructions:

• • Read “Syllabus – Software Architecture.docx“, search top online education sources (e.g., MIT, Stanford, CMU, UC Berkeley, Harvard, Oxford) to suggest what should be removed and what should be added to the syllabus to align with the latest AI achievements in software engineering, also suggest changes to the references section, and output the suggestions in “docs\changes.md” and convert it to a PDF version.
  • Update the suggestions; do not use the PPTX files in the folder.
  • Update the suggestions based only on information from the last 3 years.
  • Update the suggestions to shorten the existing reference list, and format the new references in the same style as the main references in the original syllabus.
  • Read the syllabus again, search again, and update the suggestions; do not use Packt books.
  • Read the syllabus again, search again, and update the suggestions; do not use independently published books.
  • Output the prompts with grammar corrections to docs/prompts.txt.

3. Provide these instructions to Claude to update the corresponding slides:

• Read “Syllabus – Software Architecture.docx” and “01. Course Introduction.pptx“, then create a new “01. Course Introduction_2026.pptx“.
