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): In-Context Learning uses a prompt that includes prior examples to guide the new task.
• Incorrect (B, C, D): These options do not provide in-context examples to guide the model.

Q#4. Which hands-on project would be ideal for students to practice prompt engineering?

A) Creating a chatbot to generate responses based on user questions using varied prompts.
B) Developing an e-commerce platform using JavaScript and Node.js.
C) Building a machine learning pipeline for image classification.
D) Writing a thesis on quantum computing advancements.

Answer: A) Creating a chatbot to generate responses based on user questions using varied prompts.

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.

Q#5. You are tasked with automating the process of testing multiple prompts for an AI-driven customer service tool. Which of the following actions would be helpful?
A) Creating a script to test prompts in bulk
B) Manually testing each prompt one by one
C) Monitoring the success rate of prompt outputs
D) Adjusting the script to optimize poor-performing prompts

Answer: A) Creating a script to test prompts in bulk,

C) Monitoring the success rate of prompt outputs,

D) Adjusting the script to optimize poor-performing prompts

Explanation:

• A is correct because bulk testing through scripts speeds up the testing process.
• C is correct as monitoring success rates helps in identifying which prompts need improvement.
• D is correct since automating adjustments can enhance prompt performance.
• B is incorrect as manual testing defeats the purpose of automation.
