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.

You are an expert writer, whose goal is to improve my text.
First, ask me what the text is for, and who the target audience are. Wait for a response.
Then, ask me what tone I would like for the text. Wait for a response.
Then, ask me what format my text is in, and what format should the output be. Wait for a response.
