## Deduplication rules

- Exact duplicate wording plus the same correct answer was removed within each lecture.
- Close paraphrases with strongly overlapping wording and the same answer were removed within each lecture.
- When duplicates differed in presentation, the clearer, better-formed version with a valid explanation was retained.
- Questions about the course title, lecture number, preparer, university, note-taking/study instructions, page count, lecture agenda, and end-of-handout markers were excluded.
- Questions about literary content were retained even when their stem refers to a lecture page or asks an EXCEPT question.

## Question-formulation improvements

- Mechanical “Complete the lecture detail” stems were reformulated as direct or typed exam questions (character, place, work, group, number, or concept).
- Page headers, transition-word blanks, extraction artifacts, “Related Characters / Explanation and Analysis” fragments, and closing remarks were removed.
- Answers and explanations remain based on the original lecture notes.
