OpenAI tools and prompt engineering overview
Strengths
Diverse Prompting Frameworks
Instruction includes specific frameworks such as RACE, ReAct, Tree of Thought, and Self-Ask to structure AI interactions.
Practical Excel Integration
The curriculum covers using ChatGPT for generating Excel formulas, VBA code, and business scenario modeling.
Limitations
Variable Instructional Pacing
A signal from July 2025 suggests the instruction may benefit from slower pacing or more pauses between thoughts to improve follow-along ease. This signal predates the displayed course update; the update may have addressed it, but the update label does not prove that it was corrected.
Limited Specialized Depth
Learner signals from 2023 and 2024 indicate a desire for more detailed case studies and specialized prompt resources beyond general business administration; note that the July 2025 update label does not prove these specific gaps were addressed.
