Course Summary
While students have practiced basic prompt refinement, this course would dive deep into strategic communication with Large Language Models. Lessons would cover techniques like "few-shot prompting" (giving examples), "persona-based prompting" (asking the AI to act as a professional), and "chain-of-thought prompting" (asking the AI to explain its logic). This teaches students that they are the accountable decision-makers who must guide the AI to useful outcomes.
