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.

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

I really learned a lot about how to leverage ChatGPT more efficiently, and find myself using it to brainstorm solutions even more now! Jules is great at being engaging, speaking in a way that's understandable, and providing examples to use this LLM effectively. Thank you so much for making this course available and for all of the work you put into it, Jules!

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.

I recently completed the "Prompt Engineering for ChatGPT" course, and I must say, it has been an incredibly insightful and valuable learning experience. The course is designed to provide a deep understanding of how to effectively craft prompts to achieve better and more relevant outputs from ChatGPT, which is essential in making the most out of this AI tool

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!

This was a very pedagogical introduction to prompting. The instructions were easy to follow and the exercises supported my learning. The discussion forums were great for getting answers to the few questions I had. I hurry on to the next level of the course. Thanks to prof. Jules White for taking time to share his engagement, knowledge and experience.

Via this course I've learned several new skills and techniques that I hadn't found anywhere else. Considering I've been actively seeking out information and learning ChatGPT for several weeks before starting the course, I'm glad to have the new skills gained from the course. It's been a big commitment of my time but I believe it's been worthwhile.

Dr. White is an excellent educator. He presents the material in a concise and easily understandable way. He uses relevant examples and analogies to simplify complex concepts. I actually finished the course in 5-days, but I took a few breaks in-between modules. I highly recommend Dr. White’s course in Prompt Engineering for ChatGPT. - Andrew Baxter

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.

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.
