Hello Everyone, Today, I completed a New Course "Prompt Engineering for ChatGPT" on Coursera.

Special thanks to Coursera and the Team for providing me with this course. Such a great course and learned a lot from this course like --

👉 How LLMs Work.

👉 How to train an LLM Model on our own data.

👉 Different types of prompts.

👉 How to make an AI-based application. That works in real time.

👉 I built two applications -

👉👉( i ) Ordering Bot.

👉👉( ii ) AI-based Coding Questions Solver and Explainer Application.

The study materials and concepts by the trainer Dr Jules White are very clear and helpful. The learning journey throughout this course has been very enlightening, diving deep into the knowledge to craft effective prompts to harness the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) for AI-driven solutions. As a developer who is developing AI-based plugins/extensions for different IDEs, this course has really helped to tweak some of my prompts and provide better solutions to my end users (the developers)

Prompt Engineering for ChatGPT is an essential course for people who want to equip themselves with the necessary tools to work with large-language models like ChatGPT. The instructor describes various techniques to train ChatGPT to produce your desired output. After taking this course, I know how I can use ChatGPT to perform tasks other than answering questions or helping me complete my homework. All you need is this course and a bit of creativity to bring out the best results using ChatGPT.

This course is very useful for beginners who may wish to go into more depth – or simply understand what LLMs are capable of when a user understands the basics of writing prompts. The videos are clear and the assignments are pretty straightforward but helped me think about uses that I'd never have considered. I'm glad I didn't pay more to learn the basics elsewhere, as I have taken pretty much all I need from this course, for now. Bear in mind that your assignment will be "marked" by a LLM!

I recently completed the prompt engineer course and found it extremely productive. The content was well-structured and covered all the essential aspects of developing effective prompts. The instructor was highly knowledgeable and always ready to clarify doubts. The practical activities were challenging but very rewarding, allowing me to apply what I learned immediately. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in improving their skills in interacting with large language models.

I am an early adopter for AI and this course helped me fine-tune and expand my understanding. I found the knowledge immediately deployable while going through the course. I really enjoyed the practical application aspects of the entire process. It was refreshing that the testing processes in this course were all rooted in the practical application of the knowledge presented which simply reinforced being able to put the knowledge to immediate use. I really enjoyed this course. Thank you.

Dr.Jules White helps his students make steady progress toward their goals through the use of real-world examples. His inclusion of the occasional "error" leads to a deeper understanding of the subject. Although the course is based on ChatGPT, the student is often led to try prompts on other I platforms. This led me to a much broader respect for writing prompts differently for each and for discovering the strengths and challenges of different types of problems. Great educator.

The course structure is well-organized, taking learners from basics to advanced concepts effectively. The instructor's expertise and engaging teaching style contribute to a positive learning experience. Practical examples and real-life applications enhance the course's relevance and applicability. The association with Vanderbilt University adds credibility to the content. To improve, incorporating more interactivity and peer interaction could further enrich the learning process.

I thoroughly enjoyed learning from Dr. White and recommend this course to everyone. His teaching style was so engaging that I couldn't help but stay focused and eager to learn more. You will learn about prompt patterns and techniques using a scaffolding approach, and there are plenty of exercises to try to see what works and what doesn't; it was just fascinating. I couldn't wait for each new lesson to see what he would teach next. Trust me; you won't regret taking this course!

Outstanding material that explained very clearly how to interact with a LLM. The concepts of patterns made a ton of sense. As software engineer I was an avid user of design, analysis and architecture patterns in design and implementation of large-scale systems. I appreciated this course use of patterns as it made a lot of sense.

Dr. White delivered the concepts with ease and persuasion, and made it easy to master the content.

Thank you! I will follow your work on this topic.

I have watched a ton of online courses on Generative AI, and this is pound-for-pound the best prompt engineering course.
