I’m interested in how people are teaching students to use ChatGPT well for academic work, rather than just telling them not to use it. I’m experimenting with getting students to develop prompts that help with the process of writing an assignment without getting ChatGPT to do the actual intellectual work for them. So, for example, instead of “write a critical discussion of X”, things like giving it an argument they’ve developed and asking it to challenge their reasoning, identify assumptions, ask them questions, suggest counterarguments they haven’t considered, or give feedback on the clarity of something they’ve already written. I’m also thinking of showing them deliberately bad/inappropriate prompts alongside better ones, so we can discuss where “using AI to support my thinking” turns into “getting AI to do my thinking for me”. Has anyone here tried teaching prompt use in this way? I’d be particularly interested in actual prompts/workflows you’ve found useful — especially ones that keep the student doing the thinking rather than gradually turning into “write this for me”. Also interested in failures. Are there prompts that sound educational but in practice end up doing too much of the work? submitted by /u/jaivicks
