Every Essential AI Skill in 25 Minutes (2025)
Tina Huang. The prompting chapter (02:30–09:20) lays out two stackable mnemonics — "tiny crabs ride enormous iguanas" (task, context, references, evaluate, iterate) and "ramen saves tragic idiots" (revisit, separate, try analogous, introduce constraints) — that map cleanly onto the iterate-and-refine patterns in the article. Useful when a single-shot formula isn't getting you there.
AI Expert note
Only the 02:30-09:20 prompting chapter is on-topic here; the rest of the video is a broader AI-skills tour you can save for later.
What you should get from this
Recognize reusable prompt patterns and combine them into clearer instructions, examples and evaluation steps.
Watch or know first
The primary pick's six-part formula — this builds on it when one-shot prompting stalls.

Coursera · Vanderbilt UniversityPrompt Engineering for ChatGPT
Dr. Jules White
The academic complement to DeepLearning.AI's short course — same discipline, longer arc, written for people who don't code. Dr. White teaches prompting as a set of reusable patterns (Ask for Input, Outline Expansion, Fact Check List, Menu Actions) rather than tricks. After this you'll prompt LLMs like a designer, not a guesser.

DeepLearning.AIChatGPT Prompt Engineering for Developers
Isa Fulford · Andrew Ng
Ninety minutes to a year's worth of intuition. If you've started writing code that calls an LLM — or you're about to — this is the most efficient course online for closing the gap between "playing with ChatGPT" and "shipping a feature that calls an LLM."

Microsoft LearnWork Smarter with AI: Craft Effective Prompts for Microsoft Copilot
Microsoft Learn
Prompt engineering, but for the tool most office workers will actually touch first. Microsoft's own four-part prompting framework (goal, context, source, expectation) is a genuinely useful mental model, and unlike the generic ChatGPT prompting courses already in our catalog, this one is grounded entirely in Microsoft 365 Copilot's specific quirks and grounding behavior.
