Prompting - Basic in AI Classroom Instructions

How to acquire the skills in prompting?


Let' ask the chatbot


Effective prompting is crucial for getting the most out of language models. Here's a breakdown of key strategies:

1. Be Clear and Specific:

  • Avoid ambiguity: Instead of "Tell me about dogs," try "Describe the characteristics of a Golden Retriever." The more specific you are, the more relevant and accurate the response.
  • Provide context: If you need the model to perform a specific task, clearly outline the context and desired outcome. For example, "Write a short story about a cat who goes on an adventure, focusing on themes of friendship and courage."

2. Use Proper Formatting:

  • Structure your prompt: Break down complex tasks into smaller, more manageable steps. This helps the model understand your intentions.
  • Use bullet points or numbered lists: This makes your prompt easier to read and process.
  • Include examples: If you want the model to follow a specific format or style, provide examples.

3. Consider the Model's Capabilities:

  • Understand limitations: Not all models are created equal. Some excel at specific tasks, while others struggle. Research the model's capabilities before crafting your prompt.
  • Avoid overly complex tasks: Break down complex tasks into smaller, more achievable steps.

4. Iterate and Refine:

  • Experiment: Try different phrasing and structures to see what yields the best results.
  • Provide feedback: Let the model know if you're satisfied with the response or if it needs improvement. This helps the model learn and improve its performance.

Example:

Ineffective Prompt: Tell me about the history of the internet.

Effective Prompt:

  • Provide Context: I'm writing a research paper on the history of the internet.
  • Specific Request: Can you provide a brief summary of the key milestones in the development of the internet, focusing on the period between 1969 and 1995?
  • Desired Format: Please present the information in a chronological order, using bullet points.

Remember, effective prompting is an iterative process. Experiment, refine your prompts, and provide feedback to get the most out of language models.

    Cellphones have become essential in life. Without them, life will be quite difficult. Most of us use cellphones to perform quite a number of tasks so sometimes we need to keep up with the technology to be at par with others. There are those who own cellphones because they are versatile or multifunctional. Some others choose to use cellphones for convenience while there are those who own them merely to follow the trend.
    First, let us talk about cellphones because of the technology they are equipped with. As we know, handphones come with high end technology that can perform at high speed because of their efficient processor. Not only that, some of them come with huge storage capacity as big as 500 GB although they commonly come with 240GB storage. Apart from that, certain sets boast super amoled display screen which provides crytal clear images. In addition there are also models with foldable screens.

One most important point is, they are light or portable. All cellphones can be stored anywhere; in pockets, in the purse, in the knapsacks and even in pouched belts.
    In contrast, some young people own cellphones just to keep up with the fashion or trend. They will keep on switching to new models every few months. This is unwise and wasteful. Some youngsters go for the look and appearance of the phones. They are a lot of extras to woe the the buyers such as foldable screen, high definition multi-lens cameras and beutiful covers.
    In conclusion, cellphones are important for their versatility and convenience. Some people own them for their excellent performance but it is undeniable that some youngsters own cellphones just to keep up with the trend.

LISTENING COMPREHENSION PART 3



Listening Comprehension Part 3 (27 June 2024)

How do you go about dealing with Listening Comprehension?

Follow these steps:

a) As soon as you receive the question paper, read through the questions the moment you are allowed to do so.

b) Look for the keywords and underline them. This will lead you to focus on the audio tracks to get the answers as soon as the tracks are played.

c) Always look at the questions (especially the keywords) while listening or you will miss the answers.
*Note that the conversation or dialoge is not arranged according to the order of the questions. So, pay attention to the audio tracks every second. Make sure your eyes and ears are all alerted or focussed to 'catch' the keywords. The words used in the question paper and the audio tracks may not be the same. So, again, watch out!


Listen to the audio tracks and follow the instructions:
