Prompting help

Using a good framework like the CLEAR one from Lo (2023):

Concise

Logical

Explicit

Adaptive

Reflective

Focus on the key words of the AI tools to analyse

Present your query in a logical or natural order

AI tools look for relationships between words, so you need to make sure that your prompt accurately represents the relationship you are looking for

Be clear in WHAT you want the output of the AI tool to be

Eg. Do you want a summary, what style or tone do you want, what level of information do you need?

Adapt your prompt with keywords or topics suggested from the AI in its first answer

Investigate different settings of the AI tools, use follow up prompts

Always reflect on the answer – does it make sense? Is it current or does it seem outdated?

Do you think there is any misinformation in the answer?
