# Preparation Work

The resources to be reviewed before the lesson starts

Before the TBL lesson start, the teacher will make some preparation materials available for you. These preparation material can be readings, videos, papers, etc.

Now, if you **don't want to be bored** during your TBL lesson, it is **highly recommend that you go over the preparation materials** thoroughly before the lesson.

This is quite important as the lesson - as well as  your interaction with other teammates, will be based on these materials.&#x20;

And **you will be assess on your preparation** as well.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.lamsfoundation.org/tbl/tbl-for-students/students-tbl-guide/preparation-work.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
