Questions: 10 Pass mark: 8 out of 10 Retries: allowed after reading feedback
Instructions
Choose the best answer. The goal is to check whether you can apply examples, constraints, and rubrics to your own work, not whether you can recall the wording of a unit.
Questions
1. The main risk of adding one example to a prompt is…
A. it makes the prompt long B. the output copies things about it you did not intend C. examples confuse tools D. it slows generation
2. The line that prevents most over-copying is…
A. use your own words B. match the structure and length, not the subject or the examples C. be original D. keep it short
3. A bad example should always be paired with…
A. a second bad example B. the corrected version and a one-line reason C. an apology D. a longer instruction
4. The best source of bad examples is…
A. invented ones B. outputs you actually received and rejected C. other people's prompts D. published guides
5. The kind of constraint people most often miss is…
A. include B. preserve exactly C. avoid D. length
6. "Avoid jargon" is a weak constraint because…
A. it is negative B. it is not checkable and will be followed inconsistently C. jargon is useful D. tools ignore negatives
7. When constraints conflict, what usually happens is…
A. an error message B. the tool silently drops one, usually the least specific C. the output stops D. all are followed
8. A rubric differs from success criteria in that it…
A. is longer B. describes what weak, acceptable and strong look like on each criterion C. is written afterwards D. uses numbers
9. A rubric self-score from the tool is…
A. evidence of quality B. a pointer to the weakest criterion, not evidence C. always accurate D. not worth requesting
10. The most useful maintenance habit for a saved prompt is…
A. keeping it short B. a short note on why each unusual rule exists C. rewriting it monthly D. adding more examples
Answers
1. B
An example is a constraint you did not write.
2. B
Without it, everything about the example is treated as instruction.
3. B
The reason is what generalises; a bad example alone is still a pattern to imitate.
4. B
A real failure is more likely to prevent that failure recurring.
5. B
On a rewrite, everything is in play unless you say otherwise.
6. B
List the words, or describe the test.
7. B
If output keeps missing a requirement, check what is squeezing it out.
8. B
That extra step is what makes it usable for judging.
9. B
It is generated like everything else, but it reliably surfaces where to look.
10. B
It tells a later reader which lines are safe to change.
