Spend 5 minutes creating assessments instead of 5 days!

Seems like a pipe dream up to a year ago before ChatGPT took the world by storm. Now AI is baked into some part of our life to make it easier.

Can ChatGPT help create science assessments?

Well to be frank, it is not good at doing so. Questions are either too easy, or miss the point entirely.

This is NOT because it is bad, but because the usual prompts given are not specific enough!

This is how to

Step by step method to generate questions

  1. Give the over-arching topic of what you want to test.
  1. Provide a specific learning outcome.
  1. Give additional context to prevent “hallucination”.

Seems simple enough right? Let’s put it into practice.

Sample Prompt

Generate a question from the topic of Cells. The main point of the question is how the mitochondria is the power house of the cell Context: Mitochondria produces ATP from ADP through a process called oxidative phosphorylation.

Question Generated

Explain the mechanism by which mitochondria utilize oxidative phosphorylation to synthesize ATP from ADP.

Now go through your slides or textbook to generate question automatically!

Is there a way to automate this?

Typing that for every single learning objective / concept is pretty tiring.
