5-Week Curriculum

Day 1: Introduction to Large Language Models

Explain the basics of LLMs (transformer models trained on massive text corpora). Cover tokens, context windows, pretraining vs. inference. Understand that prompt engineering means crafting and refining inputs to guide an AI.

Daily Activities:
  • • Quiz: Difference between an LLM and a traditional chatbot
  • • Exercise: Use ChatGPT to ask 'What is AI?' with different context levels
  • • Reflection: How did adding context change the response?

Day 2: How LLMs Understand Prompts

Dive into how models interpret text prompts. Discuss tokenization and context windows (e.g. GPT-4's ~32K token limit). Explain generation parameters (temperature, max tokens, etc.).

Daily Activities:
  • • Exercise: Compare clear vs. ambiguous instruction prompts
  • • Quiz: What happens if your prompt exceeds the model's context window?
  • • Code snippet: Simple OpenAI API call demonstration

Day 3: Why Prompt Engineering?

Discuss industry context and demand. Highlight that skilled prompt engineers are needed across industries. Senior prompt engineers can command up to $250K or more.

Daily Activities:
  • • Quiz: List three reasons companies need prompt engineers
  • • Exercise: Analyze a real job ad for a ChatGPT/AI Prompt Engineer
  • • Reflection: How do your past experiences provide unique perspective?

Day 4: Basic Prompt Construction

Teach the elements of a prompt: instructions, context, examples, and output indicators. Discuss simple templates and best practices: be specific and direct, avoid double negatives.

Daily Activities:
  • • Exercise: Write and refine a prompt for generating a short biography
  • • Quiz: What key elements should you include in a prompt?
  • • Reflection: Identify unexpected outputs and how to correct them

Day 5: Mini-Project – Prompt Tuning Basics

Apply what you've learned: pick a simple task (e.g. summarizing, categorizing sentiment). Write 2–3 different prompts to achieve it.

Daily Activities:
  • • Create and test multiple prompts for a chosen task
  • • Document what works best with a brief report
  • • Reflection: What did this teach you about prompt wording?
