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....

Very easy to digest and each section is explained using clear examples. The instructor has a way of simplifying something that could be perceived as tricky and complex! Enjoyed this course very much!

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!

The course is not relevant in 2025, many of the topics are updated and the newest version of ChatGPT is already resolving some of the issues outlined

The content is great, however rather lengthy presentation. would be great if the readings could be downloaded in a summarised way

Ok, outdated by now. Few good new ideas that you wouldn't come up with on your own, but mostly known stuff to chatGPT users

Die Aufgaben/Übungen waren nicht immer eindeutig und auch die Übersetzung ins Deutsche war teilweise fehlerhaft.

Too long. I would go straight to the point. It would be good a summary cheat-sheet at the end of the course.

It was decent, but could have been half the length of time. Too verbose

Honestly, I was pretty disappointed with this course.. The lecturer tends to over-explain, and the overall structure felt lacking. I often found myself losing focus because the content was overloaded with too much repetition. In my opinion, less is more - streamlined explanations and a clearer structure would make it much easier to follow and actually learn something new.

Usually Dr. Jule's courses are very educational. However there was too much information in one course. I would suggest this one course be divided into two courses with more opportunities to use these new prompts. It was very complicated and too much information o learn at once

Wow. Disappointing. A niche use case as a "motivating" example by someone who "didn't see this coming" which would indicate a lack of intimate knowledge of the space. Not a thought leader I would invest valuable resources on. Moving on with said resources. ie time and coin
