Best Practices for Writing Effective Prompts

• Provide Context: Give the AI some background information to help it understand the request.
• Define the Desired Format: If you want a list, a paragraph, or a specific structure, say so.
• Be Specific: Avoid vague language. The more specific your query, the better the result.
• Use Clear Language: Don't use jargon or overly complex sentences.
• Iterate and Refine: If you don't get the desired response on the first try, refine your prompt and try again.

Advanced Prompting Techniques

• Chain of Thought Prompting: Ask the AI to "think step by step" to encourage a more logical and detailed response.
• Zero-Shot Prompting: Ask the AI to perform a task it hasn't been explicitly trained on, by providing a clear and detailed prompt.
• Few-Shot Prompting: Provide a few examples of the desired output to help the AI understand the task.
• Generated Knowledge Prompting: Ask the AI to generate its own knowledge about a topic before answering a question.

Getting Started

• Start with a clear goal: Know what you want to achieve before you start writing a prompt.
• Use natural language: Write your prompts in plain English, as if you were talking to a person.
• Be patient: Copilot is a powerful tool, but it's not perfect. It may take a few tries to get the desired output.

Advanced Techniques

• Use comments to guide Copilot: You can use comments in your code to give Copilot hints about what you want it to do.
• Use specific function names: If you want Copilot to generate a specific function, use a descriptive name for it.
• Break down complex problems: If you have a complex problem to solve, break it down into smaller, more manageable pieces.

Open-ended questions are scored on a scale of 1 to 3 points. The following rubric is used to determine the score for each answer:

• 1 Point: The answer is partially correct but lacks detail or contains inaccuracies.
• 2 Points: The answer is correct and provides some detail, but could be more thorough.
• 3 Points: The answer is correct, detailed, and demonstrates a deep understanding of the topic.
