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!

I really loved it, I used chatgpt to understand the videos and I'm glad coursera offers context under the videos, this helped me finish the certificate in not a long time, all it takes is dedication.

Not worth the money to purchase the certificate. Overall is too simple and not systematic.

The "Prompt Engineering for ChatGPT" course on Coursera, led by Dr. Jules White, is really good at explaining how to use Large Language Models (LLMs) in a simple way. Dr. White knows a lot about the subject and teaches it in a way that's easy to understand. He gives good advice on how to use ChatGPT, showing you both the theory behind it and how to actually use it in real life. This makes the course great for everyone, whether you're new to LLMs or have been working with them for a while.

I really enjoyed this course. And I'm amazed I finished it! Kudos to how it is structured. The videos w/transcript were just the right size chunks my ADD brain can handle. I recommend this for anyone who wants to do a deeper dive into AI capabilities as it really expanded my brain on how prompt engineering can be used and its power is exponential. And this just scratches the surface!

This is a very good course about prompt engineering. For the beginner, who don't have knowledge about what Chatgpt is or what is prompt engineering, can enroll here to learn about these things. Further, its very helpful for me to understand the real potential of the new tool, that we all called Chatgpt.

Dr. Jules White was fantastic. This class was engaging, interesting, and very useful. Not only did I learn about Prompt Engineering, I also learned about all the amazing capabilities of LLMs. I am hoping this class will be followed up by a course in prompting AI image generators.

A great course to familiarize yourself with AI. The course is very well done and, as a beginner in A.I, I can say that every topic discussed is very thoroughly explained.

Everything is phenomenal but sometimes the lectures feel boring that's why 4 stars. But otherwise I feel this is the best course in market.

Should not name it as engineering as I or many other may confuse it with complicated and great course but in fact it is simple and so much lengthy course.

It would be better if you rearrange the camera to be in the corner of the screen; the current view is reducing the focus on the command screen.

Negative Points: The course actually of 7-8 hours maximum. Telling it of 18 hours is just making fool of the learners, many things are repeated by changing the name of the topics. Graded Assignments are of 20 minutes or maximum of 25 minutes but they are pinned that they are of 1 hours, even of 3 hours also, though it take 3 minutes to complete. Please do not get fooled that you will get learning material of 18 hours. The learning material is of 5 hours only and that is also the maximum time I am telling, ideally telling it is of 3-4 hours only. Positive points: The amount of information in the course is literally good, you will come to know what kind of prompts you can write to get solution to particular problem you are facing. You can also generate codes of python, html, css, etc. with chatgpt 3.5 but these things are not there in the course. You will be asked to buy one more course along with chatgpt 4 to learn it, so doing it is purely your all choice (though it could be done with chatgpt 3.5). Chatgpt 4 is having other new features as well, you can google them or just ask with chatgpt 3.5 itself. Adding to it, the way of explanation of the lecturer is also very good, he keeps everything simple and concise, along with the easiest and one of the best examples to support his claims, and helping us understand the topic. As a summary it is depended upon you all what to do with the course, how much you should spend on it. Chatgpt Summary: The course is criticized for falsely claiming to be 18 hours long when the actual content is around 7-8 hours, with a significant amount of repetition. Graded assignments, though labeled as 1-3 hours, can be completed in a fraction of that time. However, positive aspects include valuable information on prompt writing for problem-solving and the ability to generate Python, HTML, CSS codes with ChatGPT 3.5. The lecturer's clear and concise explanation, along with practical examples, enhances the learning experience. Ultimately, the decision to invest in the course depends on individual preferences and priorities.

We need better assignments. I understand its tough for a new topic but you should work on improving that. Assigments where the input actually is tested.
