About this exercise
You need a quick lab safety check before Friday's lab. Write exactly 5 numbered true/false statements based only on the safety sheet, at least 2 of them false, then a line that says "Answers" and the key on one line. Use the corrected goggles rule, keep each statement under 15 words, and use plain text. Write a prompt that gets you exactly that.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Not fixing the count. The AI writes 10 questions or mixes in multiple choice. Try: Be exact: "Exactly 5 numbered true/false statements."
- Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting. Ask for "under 90 words" and it often lands well over. Try: Cap each part instead: "each statement under 12 words."
- Using the old rule. Rule 1 still reads the old way; the correction is below it. Try: Add: "Use the corrected goggles rule."
- All true statements. The AI writes statements that are all true, which tests nothing. Try: Add: "Make at least 2 false."
- Messy answer key. The AI puts the answer after each statement or explains every one. Try: Add: "Then a line 'Answers' and the key on one line, like 1. T 2. F."
What a strong prompt includes
- Sets the number of statements
- Uses the corrected rule
- Asks for false items
- Separates the key
- Sets a word limit
