Here are some sample questions:

Q#1. You need the AI to explain a complex medical procedure to a general audience. Which of the following prompts would work best?
A) “Explain open-heart surgery in simple terms.”
B) “Tell me something about heart surgery.”
C) “Describe open-heart surgery with detailed medical terms.”
D) “Give a brief statement on heart-related surgery.”

Answer: A
Explanation:

  • Option A (Correct): This prompt specifies the procedure (open-heart surgery) and asks for an explanation in simple terms, making it suitable for a general audience.

  • Option B (Incorrect): This prompt is vague and does not specify what aspect of heart surgery to explain or the audience's knowledge level.

  • Option C (Incorrect): While this prompt asks for detailed information, it does not cater to a general audience, as it asks for medical terms.

  • Option D (Incorrect): This prompt is too broad and will likely generate a superficial response that may not meet the requirement for explanation.


Q#2. A user asks an AI for medical advice on treatment of a cold. Which of the following would provide the most accurate and helpful response? (Multi-Select)
A) “Give me a list of cold medications.”
B) “Provide a general overview of cold symptoms and management options, including over-the-counter medications and home remedies.”
C) “Explain the science behind the common cold.”
D) “What should I take for my cold?”

Answer: B, D
Explanation:

  • Option B (Correct): This prompt ensures a comprehensive response, including symptoms and a range of management options.

  • Option D (Correct): Asking what to take for a cold would lead to a more specific recommendation.

  • Option A (Incorrect): A simple list of medications may not provide enough context for effective management.

  • Option C (Incorrect): Understanding the science behind a cold is interesting but does not provide practical management advice.

Q#3. Which of the following is an effective prompt using In-Context Learning?
A) "Translate: 'Hola' → 'Hello.' Now, translate: 'Gracias.'"
B) "Write a sentence in Spanish."
C) "Translate: 'Goodbye' → 'Adiós.'"
D) "Describe the translation process."

Answer:

  • Correct: A

  • Incorrect: B, C, D

Explanation:

  • Correct: A) A chatbot using varied prompts is a practical and hands-on way to practice prompt engineering techniques.

  • Incorrect:

    • B) This focuses on full-stack development rather than prompt engineering.

    • C) This is related to machine learning but not prompt generation.

    • D) Writing a thesis is an academic exercise, not a hands-on prompt project.
