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....

I really loved it, I used chatgpt to understand the videos and I'm glad coursera offers context under the videos, this helped me finish the certificate in not a long time, all it takes is dedication.

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!

A lot of fun, and it takes you from the basics of prompt engineering to complex but extremely useful patterns and formulae. Grab this course and you'll be "programming" in plain English in no time.

Not worth the money to purchase the certificate. Overall is too simple and not systematic.

The "Prompt Engineering for ChatGPT" course on Coursera, led by Dr. Jules White, is really good at explaining how to use Large Language Models (LLMs) in a simple way. Dr. White knows a lot about the subject and teaches it in a way that's easy to understand. He gives good advice on how to use ChatGPT, showing you both the theory behind it and how to actually use it in real life. This makes the course great for everyone, whether you're new to LLMs or have been working with them for a while.

I really enjoyed this course. And I'm amazed I finished it! Kudos to how it is structured. The videos w/transcript were just the right size chunks my ADD brain can handle. I recommend this for anyone who wants to do a deeper dive into AI capabilities as it really expanded my brain on how prompt engineering can be used and its power is exponential. And this just scratches the surface!

Excellent course on Prompt Engineering. It teaches a great number of prompt patterns that will make your life easier when working with LLMs. You don't need to have previous knowledge on how the language models work as the classes are very practical, easy to follow and give a lot of information that you can work on. I recommend it!

This is a very good course about prompt engineering. For the beginner, who don't have knowledge about what Chatgpt is or what is prompt engineering, can enroll here to learn about these things. Further, its very helpful for me to understand the real potential of the new tool, that we all called Chatgpt.

Dr. Jules White was fantastic. This class was engaging, interesting, and very useful. Not only did I learn about Prompt Engineering, I also learned about all the amazing capabilities of LLMs. I am hoping this class will be followed up by a course in prompting AI image generators.
