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....

This was a nice overview of the different prompt patterns one can use in a Large Language Model/Generative AI like ChatGPT or Bing Copilot. The exercises were practical and helped ground the lecture/readings. I also really appreciate the availability of text transcripts of the lectures because I don't always have time to sit through a video (even at 2x playback speed), but I can always skim through text.

This course is everything I hoped it would be and so much more. When Chat-GPT was released last year, I was hesitant to dive into it. I resisted exploring the tool. I saw it as a knock-off of the real thing: Human creativity. I didn't know that Chat-GPT was the quiet side-kick my creative process needed. This course has opened my eyes to the infinite possibilities that await me and my creative muse.

This excellent course is well constructed and provides a logical approach to prompt engineering. The lecturer is excellent, explains the rationale for the various patterns, and gives examples of how and why one should use them. This course also has academic rigour and is supported by proper academic research. I learned more in this course than in any of the other prompt engineering courses I did.

Excellent. Well presented with practical thought-provoking examples. The modules were presented with just the right amount of content to digest in a sitting and built on each other so the final more complex concepts were quite manageable. Beside the sense of accomplishment, I was able to apply what I learnt immediately to some of the problems that prodded me in the direction of AI and ChatGPT.

AMAZING COURSE! Dr. White clearly loves the topic and loves teaching it. He is excellent at explaining tricky concepts to an audience who might not be familiar with AI or programming (me!). I had so much fun prompting ChatGPT in different ways, and feel like I have built expertise that will help make my personal and professional life better. Thanks, Dr. White, for your energy and excitement!

It has been an incredibly interesting course and also extremely useful to me as a university lecturer. Jules White is a charismatic professor, and the way he teaches makes one want to go on and learn more. He could explain complicated issues in a way that I could understand everything, though I have no degree in information technology. A truly wonderful experience. Thank you, Professor!

The course is really well-structured, a mix of instructional videos and reading material. The videos explain and demonstrate a large number of prompting methods, and the reading section summarize them concisely, while featuring a few actual usage examples. The instructor is well-spoken, enthusiastic and obviously knowledgeable in the subject. This course has met all of my expectations.

The best course that prepares you to effectively utilize Chatgpt in a more creative and critical thinking way as opposed to just using it to get answers, it's meant to be interactive. This is the best course thus far and as a professional, I will responsibly utilize Chatgpt t enhance and stream line my work while maintaining high level integrity in the work I do

The professor was great. It instantly got my brain working and i believe that i can use chap gpt to become wealthy over night. Without to much work. I’m currently writing a book “The Girl who to God No” and im developing a jewelery line for men and women made out of bronze metal instead of gold or silver. Promoting the idea that Bronze is better than them all.

Thank you, Dr. Jules White, for this phenomenal course. In the past, I never understood the full capabilities of ChatGPT, and I never thought it could help me. Now, after understanding what a great tool ChatGPT is, I feel more encouraged to use it in multiple areas of my life and, most importantly, to provide a purpose in this world. Love from South Africa.

This was an excellent course that walked through the basics up to highly technical prompt engineering techniques and principals. Take lots of notes and don't underestimate the course. It gets more difficult at weeks 4-5, but it becomes far more rewarding and that's where the work really seems to pay off. If you're on the fence, absolutely take this course!
