Is prompting really the secret sauce of GenAI?
This workshop challenges the idea that better prompts automatically lead to better results. Instead, we’ll explore a different approach: using GenAI effectively by understanding how to think, evaluate, and work with information.
Rather than focusing on clever phrasing, this session will help you build the skills behind good prompting, so you can use GenAI with confidence, clarity, and purpose.
In this workshop, we’ll cover and discuss:
- Why prompting is often overrated (and what matters more)
- How to evaluate GenAI outputs critically
- Common pitfalls and misconceptions about GenAI use
- The role of your own knowledge and judgement
- How different tools and models can produce different outputs, and what to look for when comparing them
- Practical strategies for using GenAI in your study or work
Suitable for anyone who wants to move beyond “prompt engineering” and actually understand how to use GenAI effectively.
For this workshop, you will need a laptop, tablet or phone.
