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.

As a fellow teacher, Dr. Jules did a great job presenting the course materials and delivering them in such a way as to make them relatable to anyone...even if not in the same field. The audio in a couple of the videos could have been better (louder), but that would be my only area for improvement in this course. Thank you, and cheers, Dr. Scott

Excellent course. A ton of relevant material. The instructor was very knowledgeable, clear, and concise. The material was easy to follow and the exams were straight-forward and easy to navigate. I started utilizing the information I learned from this course the first day I started. I HIGHLY recommend this course to anyone interested in ChatGPT.

Excellent course - I put this information to use immediately. It will not only help me in my current job, but will help me break out of the career box I've found myself trapped in. My only suggestion would be to make the full example chats available outside the videos, because the screen is too fuzzy to read those chats. Thank you so much!

This was a great intro to ChatGPT with some advanced nuances that relate to programming (no code, just the concepts of how to use logic). It was amazing to have access to this course! The instructor is super conversational, and makes concepts easy to understand, also easy to relate to practical scenarios! Brilliant course! Many thanks!!

Most of us tend to fall into using LLM like a better search engine. This course took me beyond the typical use case of ask a query and get a response. Highly recommend this case if you are looking to "leverage" the might of an LLM and understand how different models respond to prompts. Thank you for making this an easy to follow course.

Gracias, excelente. Valoro mucho la claridad de la explicación y los ejemplos dados. Este curso es una muestra de que no solo es importante disponer de excelentes herramientas de trabajo sino que la diferencia radica en la habilidad, detreza y creatividad del que usa estas herramientas! Muchas gracias por el conocimiento compartido

An excellent introduction in simple terms. The professor made the topic approachable. Exercises were intuitive and straightforward. I now think more strategically about prompts. And I have a flexible toolkit of patterns to refine and improve prompt structure and use to optimize ChatGPT outputs and expand their application. Thank you!

Excellent course. Loved the hands-on assignments. Appreciate the white papers, but would love to have the same info in an easy to read and reference PDF doc- e.g. list of prompt types with examples just as in the "reading" portions of the course. Jules did a fantastic job of creating energy and excitement in the video presentations.

This course provided new prompt concepts that I had not heard of before. The instructor was detailed, easy to understand, and didn't speak in tech or computer speak. He provided examples to expand on the topic that helped me better understand the topic. I enjoyed his class and look forward to taking more courses from this instructor

Prompt Engineering for ChatGPT is a fantastic course on the power, potential and, yes, the limitations of Large Language Models and how skilful and creative Prompt Engineering can maximise their potential to supplement rather than supplant an individual's skillset. Highly Recommended for complete beginners and early adopters alike!

Recommended Course. The key aspect of the course is its ability to provide metacognitive notions that allow the learner to confidently, responsibly, and creatively transpose the learned outcomes of prompt engineering into different use cases. The course is well-thought-through, smartly built, and enjoyable. I loved every bit of it.

Jules White was personal, engaging, and thorough in the teaching. His examples were broad - where learners to connect with the content in simple and understandable manner. I enjoyed the pace, tone and understanding of a very broad set of learners. I look forward to more programs that he leads in this space.

The course was well presented and mind expanding, in a creative way! Thank you! The course could be enhanced with engaging content for visual/graphical learners. For example: Personification of the AI and human interactions as actual characters, as in a cartoon illustration.

Thanks again!
