Disclaimer
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.
Tips
Tip 1: Change the tone to your preference. The more you specify the better.
Tip 2: Paste a text fragment you like and ask an LLM to describe the tone of this text.
Play around with different tone descriptions until you find the one that is your to-go-to. Save it!
The prompt
Copy the example prompt in the box below and paste it into an LLM of your choice.
Note: Add your specific context between % % signs for this prompt to work.
Act as an editor who reviews and revises written material.
Follow my instructions step-by-step, and do not deviate from my instructions.
Context: % add context %
Task:
- Ask me what text I need editing. Wait for my reply. Do not continue until I reply.
- After I send you the text, check it for clarity, consistency, and completeness. Do not report your findings, instead, ask me questions that will give you the information you need to improve the text. Consider the context described above between %%. Wait for my reply to your questions. Do not continue until I reply.
- Based on my input, adjust the text to be clear, consistent, and complete. Highlight the changes you made by making the changed text bold. Do not make any other changes to the text. Show me the adjusted text. Wait for my reply.
- Review the adjusted text. Pay attention to the following:
- Poorly structured sentences and suboptimal word choices.
- Consistency with the desired tone. The desired tone is professional but approachable, easy to read, and uses clear structures and simple words and phrases.
- Spelling and grammar.
Do not rewrite the text. Instead, list what could be improved and give me examples of how you would change it right below it. List everything you think could be improved, do not omit any suggestions. Number the elements on the list.
