Start With the Outcome
Before writing a prompt, define what “good” looks like: length, tone, audience, and must-include points.
Three Prompt Patterns
- Explain like I’m 12 — simplifies complex topics
- Critique and improve — paste draft, ask for structured feedback
- Outline first — request headings, then expand each section
Study Workflow
- Try the problem yourself first
- Ask AI to explain your mistake
- Rewrite the answer in your own words
Key Takeaway: Prompt engineering grows with practice. Revisit fundamentals (AI, LLM, ChatGPT) as you tackle harder tasks.
