About this exercise

Get a single question to test yourself, not a quiz. Exactly 2 sentences: one question about this week's topic (week 5), then 'Type your answer and I will check it.' Under 35 words, plain text, and don't reveal or hint at the answer.

Common mistakes when you ask AI for this

  • Getting a whole quiz. The AI writes 10 questions and an answer key. Try: Say: "One question only, exactly 2 sentences."
  • Wrong week. The AI draws from the week 4 notes you've already been tested on. Try: Add: "About week 5 only."
  • Leaking the answer. The AI adds a hint or the answer in parentheses. Try: Say: "Don't reveal or hint at the answer."
  • No sentence limit. The AI keeps going until the idea feels complete. Try: Say: "At most 2 sentences."
  • Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting. Ask for a total and it often lands 20% over. Try: Cap each part: "each line under 12 words."
  • Forgetting where it's going. AI formats for a screen, with bold and headings that show up as stray symbols. Try: Say: "Plain text, no bold, no headings."

What a strong prompt includes

  • Asks for one question
  • Names the week
  • Bans the answer
  • Sets the closing line
  • Limits the length
