Este curso me enseñó cómo usar correctamente modelos grandes de lenguaje como ChatGPT y Claude. Gracias a este curso y al maestro Jules White, comencé a utilizar ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini y Copilot para mejorar e innovar procesos en mi trabajo, aprovechando y mejorando mis habilidades y aptitudes humanas en colaboración con chatbots de Inteligencia Artificial. Estoy muy contento y muy agradecido por lo que aprendí.

I recently had the pleasure of completing the "Prompt Engineering for ChatGPT" course on Coursera, and I can confidently say that it has been an enlightening and transformative experience. This course exceeded my expectations in every way and provided me with valuable insights into the world of AI. Thank you to the instructor Dr. Jules White and the Coursera team for creating such a valuable learning experience.

The course was incredibly productive and well-presented. The instructors' expertise and engaging teaching style made the complex concepts easy to grasp. The practical examples and assignments helped to apply prompt engineering techniques effectively. The emphasis on ethics was commendable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to maximize ChatGPT's potential. Thank you for this transformative learning experience!

Nearly perfect! Clear, concise, informative. Well presented. Catalog of Prompts paper is especially helpful. Concluding references to need for further collaboration, research, and development in patterns for prompt engineering is well taken.

Minor technical glitches on Coursera's end. i.e., instructional videos often stopped before end of presentation. Had to go to Notes to restart many videos from cutoff point.

Throughout the course, I gained a deep understanding of prompt engineering techniques enabling me to optimize the interactions and outputs generated by any language model. I have gained the ability to refine prompts to elicit desired responses and tailor LLM's behavior to meet specific requirements. I sincerely thank Dr. Jules White and Vanderbilt University for providing this outstanding learning opportunity.

I have completed course for "Prompt Engineering for ChatGPT" by Vanderbilt University offered by COURSERA. This course is really helpful to understand each and every aspects of prompt engineering for chat GPT or any large language model. Due to this course, Now I am able to write an effective prompt to solve any complex problems. Thanks to COURSERA.https://coursera.org/share/41044570ec381570a3c5010dbf5cf587

This was a nice overview of the different prompt patterns one can use in a Large Language Model/Generative AI like ChatGPT or Bing Copilot. The exercises were practical and helped ground the lecture/readings. I also really appreciate the availability of text transcripts of the lectures because I don't always have time to sit through a video (even at 2x playback speed), but I can always skim through text.

I am honored to have been one of the learners in this wonderful course, and I have greatly benefited from it. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the professor who taught me this course. The knowledge and insights gained have been invaluable, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to learn from such a knowledgeable instructor. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to excellence.

"I want to express my gratitude for the Prompt Engineering course. The content was insightful, covering diverse prompt styles effectively. The instructor's expertise was evident, and their teaching style made complex concepts easy to grasp. The hands-on assignments were practical, enhancing my skills. I feel confident in crafting compelling prompts now. Thank you for this valuable learning experience."

This course is everything I hoped it would be and so much more. When Chat-GPT was released last year, I was hesitant to dive into it. I resisted exploring the tool. I saw it as a knock-off of the real thing: Human creativity. I didn't know that Chat-GPT was the quiet side-kick my creative process needed. This course has opened my eyes to the infinite possibilities that await me and my creative muse.

This excellent course is well constructed and provides a logical approach to prompt engineering. The lecturer is excellent, explains the rationale for the various patterns, and gives examples of how and why one should use them. This course also has academic rigour and is supported by proper academic research. I learned more in this course than in any of the other prompt engineering courses I did.

Dr. Jules White is an EXCELLENT professor. He is an exceptional educator, whose teaching skills and examples provided, consistently inspire and empower new applications of the material. His engaging instructional methods created a dynamic learning environment with me, fostering my intellectual curiosity and professional challenge. Dr. White's commitment to student success is truly commendable.

AMAZING COURSE! Dr. White clearly loves the topic and loves teaching it. He is excellent at explaining tricky concepts to an audience who might not be familiar with AI or programming (me!). I had so much fun prompting ChatGPT in different ways, and feel like I have built expertise that will help make my personal and professional life better. Thanks, Dr. White, for your energy and excitement!

It has been an incredibly interesting course and also extremely useful to me as a university lecturer. Jules White is a charismatic professor, and the way he teaches makes one want to go on and learn more. He could explain complicated issues in a way that I could understand everything, though I have no degree in information technology. A truly wonderful experience. Thank you, Professor!

The course is really well-structured, a mix of instructional videos and reading material. The videos explain and demonstrate a large number of prompting methods, and the reading section summarize them concisely, while featuring a few actual usage examples. The instructor is well-spoken, enthusiastic and obviously knowledgeable in the subject. This course has met all of my expectations.

This course has significantly enhanced my prompt-writing skills, evident in the improved responses I receive from ChatGPT. The varied prompt patterns learned have boosted my productivity. Credit goes to the quality content and Dr Jules White's exceptional delivery.
