About the Course

ChatGPT and other large language models are going to be more important in your life and business than your smartphone, if you use them right. ChatGPT can tutor your child in math, generate a meal plan and recipes, write software applications for your business, help you improve your personal cybersecurity, and that is just in the first hour that you use it. This course will teach you how to be an expert user of these generative AI tools. The course will show amazing examples of how you can tap into these generative AI tools' emergent intelligence and reasoning, how you can use them to be more productive day to day, and give you insight into how they work. Large language models respond to instructions and questions posed by users in natural language statements, known as “prompts”. Although large language models will disrupt many fields, most users lack the skills to write effective prompts. Expert users, who understand how to write good prompts, are orders of magnitude more productive and can unlock significantly more creative uses for these tools. This course introduces students to the patterns and approaches for writing effective prompts for large language models. Anyone can take the course and the only required knowledge is basic computer usage skills, such as using a browser and accessing ChatGPT. Students will start with basic prompts and build towards writing sophisticated prompts to solve problems in any domain. By the end of the course, students will have strong prompt engineering skills and be capable of using large language models for a wide range of tasks in their job, business, personal life, and education, such as writing, summarization, game play, planning, simulation, and programming....

Prompt Engineering for ChatGPT has been a great introduction course. I look forward to diving into additional AI courses. I've even joined a Meetup group to continue learning outside of the classroom!

Found the course has given me a greater insight into the world of LLM, how they think and the number of other LLM’s that sit behind ChatGPT. Enjoyed the Coursera platform as a positive learning tool.

Good examples. Coach questions/answers provided a whole more info that I can use in the future, as I become more familiar with all this. Didn't use for the first few patterns so I need to go back and capture that information too.

If I knew how much I enjoyed the course challenges, I would had undertook this course as earlier as possible. Will take another ChatGPT course from Professor Dr. Jules White and a foundation Python course. From a 60+ yrs-old learner.

Very informative and enlightening course. Sometimes I find the exercises difficult, however, not because those prompt patterns are hard to apply, but because it is tougher than expected to think of problems to solve on the spot...

Quite an amazing course! I'd been using ChatGPT for quite a while but had no idea that it was capable of creating prompts for useful day in life tasks. These prompts could be helpful for a teacher in making exams and assignments.

This course demonstrated the many kinds of language patterns that can be used in ChatGPT that cannot be found anywhere else. There are many examples given so that one can practice on their own. I highly recommend this course.

To get a solid foundation in ChatGPT, this course is just great. Great and comprehensive presentation as well as learning materials. The assessed assignments are recommended as learned material is directly applied and assessed.

Great course for beginners. Sometimes the order seems a bit weird but it is still very easy to follow along. If you are new to ChatGPT this is a really great course. If you already know a lot, there might not be much new here.

Some content in this course may not be current, but the core principles of using prompts in various patterns are fantastic! It's really inspiring and can be applied to any version of ChatGPT or other large language models.

This program has helped me help my students to more properly use ChatGPT as a writing assistant (instead of an essay generator). I can't thank Vanderbilt and Jules enough for helping bring me up from the brink of despair!

Very well, thoroughly explained. Some examples of patters a bit strange (e.g. focused only on usage with LLMs themselves), but overall a very good course for beginners. 2 or 3 videos had bad sound quality (low volume).

Loved it, the way teacher teaches this course is fantastic.

His zeal is infectious and teaching is effective as well. Ive learned a-lot form him and no I haven't used LLM to write this review. Full stars from my side :)

Excellent introduction course on prompts and how to engineer them. The teacher exposed all items clearly; the transcription was also useful to underline, save and review the key points of the lessons.

Congratulations!

Loved this course. I am a 65yo science teacher and I took this to learn enough about AI to guide my students. This course is a great introduction to the subject and Professor White is terrific. Highly recommended.

The course summarized different patterns available and also provided in-depth ideas about how the root prompts are currently available and can be altered in a way that solves a complex problem. Great Job, thank you!
