This course was something of a disappointment. The professor is a bit long-winded, and never did show how to ask a simple question, then a follow-up question, then a question after that, etc. to get the response you want and have a conversation go in a good direction. That's one of the most basic uses of ChatGPT. A lot of the "patterns" that he discusses seem more appropriate if you want to build your own chatbot, taking in lots of data from users or sifting through lots of internal data. I can see why his background is in computer science, because he seemed to focus more on the technical aspects of pattern after pattern rather than issues having to do with wording and critical thinking as you have conversations with ChatGPT.

The course covers various prompting techniques for large language models, many of which users may already apply intuitively without knowing the specific terminology. While it serves as a good introduction for beginners unfamiliar with ChatGPT, experienced users may find it less practical. The vocabulary and terms are clearly defined, but many learners might remember the applications rather than the formal terms. Overall, the course provides foundational knowledge but may offer limited new insights for regular users.

The instructor spends a lot of time on easy concepts and then lumps more complex concepts together in later lessons. It would be better to do the reverse. Also, not all prompts are included in the reading. A resource guide or some kind of handout with all the discussed prompts would greatly benefit the learner. Finally, it doesn't seem like anyone is answering questions in the discussion forums. Since this is a paid class, I expected a TA would periodically review the questions there to provide greater insight.
