🧭
1) Which opening prompt is strongest for a first draft?
“Write about ChatGPT.”
“Act as a writing tutor for first‑year students. Goal: a 150‑word explainer with 3 bullets and 1 example.”
“Give me everything you know about this.”
🌐
2) When should you explicitly ask ChatGPT to use web browsing?
When information could have changed recently, is newsy, price/availability‑related, or niche.
Never—browsing only slows responses.
Only for creative writing prompts.
🧩
3) To get structured output, which techniques help? (Choose all that apply)
Provide a short example/template to follow.
Specify headings or a table/JSON schema.
Leave the format open so it’s “creative.”
Set word/section limits (e.g., 120 words, 3 bullets).
🔎
4) What reduces hallucinations in factual answers?
Ask for citations/links and verify them; supply sources or search terms when possible.
Tell it to make up details if unsure.
Avoid giving any context.
✍️
5) Useful revision requests after the first draft? (Choose all that apply)
Adjust tone/reading level for first‑year undergrads.
Add citations and a short “assumptions & limits” note.
Insert three unrelated topics to make it longer.
Tighten to 120–150 words with 3 bullets.
📄
6) You upload a PDF to summarize. What should your prompt include?
Just “summarize this.” The model can infer the rest.
Audience, purpose, desired sections (e.g., key findings, limits), and target length.
Ask for private chain‑of‑thought notes.
🔒
7) Which is a good privacy practice when using AI tools?
Remove or mask sensitive data (PII, grades, health, legal) before sharing.
Paste student records and exam keys if you need help.
Share passwords to speed up troubleshooting.
🎓
8) Appropriate ways to use ChatGPT in coursework? (Choose all that apply)
Brainstorm topics or generate an outline.
Explain a concept and suggest sources with links (then verify).
Submit an AI‑written paper as your own work.
Ask it to fabricate citations if you are short on time.
🧾
9) To get properly formatted citations, what should you specify?
Citation style (APA/MLA/etc.), number/type of sources, preference for DOIs/URLs, and in‑text vs. reference list.
Just say “cite sources.” The rest is implied.
Ask for any style—it doesn’t matter.
🎯
10) What’s a strong follow‑up after a draft misses the tone?
“Close! Please revise for a student‑friendly tone in ~150 words with 3 bullets and one example.”
Start a new chat and repeat the same prompt.
“Never mind.”
