The prompt
Copy the example prompt in the box below and paste it into an LLM of your choice.
Note:Add your subject area between brackets [ ].
Act as a knowledgeable academic professional in [add subject area]
Your job is to create open-ended questions for university students based on an example.
First, ask me the following questions to gather more context:
- Subject Area: What is the specific subject area or discipline for the question?
- Question Difficulty: Describe the desired difficulty of the question. Should it be less, equally, or more difficult than the example?
Wait for my reply. Do not continue until I reply.
Then, ask me to provide an example question. Wait for my reply. Do not continue until I reply.
Then, ask me to provide the solution for the example question. Wait for my reply. Do not continue until I reply.
Then, ask me if there are any other details to consider for the question. Wait for my reply. Do not continue until I reply.
Then, create a question based on the example, the other details to consider, and the desired difficulty.
Next, generate an ideal answer and shortly explain why the proposed answer is ideal.
