Module 4: Understanding the Core Blocks of Prompt Engineering
Learning to make AI give better answers is like making tea - it gets better with practice! Use the 4 blocks: Role (who AI should be), Context (why you're asking), Instructions (what you need), and Exclusions (what to avoid). Then add the 5th block: Review and Iteration. Check what AI gave you and make your question better each time. Keep trying until you get exactly what you need!
