Module 1: Prompting Mastery¶

The foundation skill that everything else builds upon

In this module, you'll learn the critical skill of effective prompting - the core competency that enables powerful AI interactions. We'll break down how Large Language Models (LLMs) actually work, explore prompt engineering techniques, and provide hands-on exercises to develop your prompting skills.

Key Learning Objectives¶

• Understand the fundamental mechanics of how LLMs generate text
• Master the anatomy of a well-structured prompt
• Learn advanced prompting techniques like chain-of-thought and few-shot learning
• Develop strategies to improve AI reasoning and output quality
