Educators benefit by having a great starting point for creating quizzes and exams. By using the prompt, they can produce question ideas faster and devote more time to polishing them. Meanwhile, students can test their knowledge by creating more questions like those in class.

The AI Prompt Library presents examples to UM students and staff on how to make better use of Generative AI (GenAI) in the educational process. Maastricht University does not recommend the use of any specific GenAI tool. However, you are strongly advised to opt-out of allowing your content to be used to (further) train the GenAI tool of your choice. This can usually be done in Settings.
Given that all information entered into an AI tool will be stored and can be reused by the GenAI tool provider as they deem fit, one should not feed: UM- data, confidential information and trade secrets; personal data and sensitive data relating to you or other people; Copyrighted materials (such as books, academic articles e.t.c.), but also materials for which the UM is the copyright holder, such as educational materials including coursebooks, syllabi, ppt, e.t.c.
Certain GenAI practices in education may not be allowed or encouraged within your faculty’s policy framework and/or rules and regulations. Please check first, any relevant rules on the use of GenAI in education, applicable to you, and defined at activity, course/module, study programme and faculty level.
GenAI can only be employed for high-risk practices under strict conditions set out in the EU AI Act. UM currently refrains from employing GenAI in relation to student assessment, selection and admission procedures, monitoring and detection of prohibited behaviour during exams, pending further thorough investigation of the conditions.

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.
