Students use ChatGPT to cheat. Based on this fact, many teachers have been asking me for a guide to share with their students for legitimately using ChatGPT. So, I decided to address this issue. Let’s discover how students can benefit from using ChatGPT. Continue reading.

Why this guide?

ChatGPT is everywhere. There are guides for teachers on how to use ChatGPT effectively, but there’s not such a thing for students, at least until now. 

Before anything else, we have to address the elephant in the room. To use ChatGPT, people must be older than 18 or have their parents’ permission. Please avoid asking them to use ChatGPT or any other Chatbot without their parents’ approval. Now that we have sorted this out, we are ready to head over to the prompts that will allow students to use ChatGPT in a legitimate, effective and productive way.

Writing Assistant

The first bunch of prompts is about using ChatGPT as your writing assistant.

Gives examples and proposes a structure

Picture this common situation. Your teacher assigned you a writing exercise, but you are stuck and need help figuring out how to begin. This is called writer’s block, but no worries! ChatGPT can help you get started.

Explains a topic using plain language

Have you ever come across a topic that seems like a puzzle you can’t solve? ChatGPT can explain it to you using plain and simple language.

Improves the structure, grammar and vocabulary

ChatGPT can take your writing to the next level by helping you improve. So, give it a text and tell it to show you your mistakes instead of just asking it to rewrite it for you.

Provides feedback and suggestions

You can always go a step further. Instead of highlighting your mistakes, let’s enhance your overall writing skills by asking ChatGPT to provide you with feedback and recommendations

Homework Assistant

Are you struggling with your homework? Well, guess what? ChatGPT is here to save the day! Let’s check this second bunch of prompts.

Generates extra practice exercises and tests

ChatGPT can generate additional exercises and tests for a specific lesson. Practice makes perfect, right?

Engages into helpful conversation

Is there a better way to understand something than by talking about it? You can pretend ChatGPT is a character and have a chat to figure out the most important parts of the topic.

 Solves problems or finds potential mistakes

Whether it’s coding, math, or any other subject, ChatGPT can help you solve problems and find out why something isn’t working. In fact, this will become more apparent soon with the introduction of multimodality. This means that soon ChatGPT will be able to understand images as well. But, for the time being, let’s stick to coding. 

Offers simplified alternative explanations

Sometimes, exercises can be confusing. But don’t worry; ChatGPT can offer simplified explanations to make things easier for you.

Provides step-by-step guidance

Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime. ChatGPT can also come up with step-by-step guidance to help you with your homework.

Summarises lengthy texts

Reading long and complex texts can be a real challenge. But fear not! ChatGPT can summarise those texts for you. It will cover all the main points, so you don’t have to spend hours deciphering complicated information.

Creates presentations

Ever wished creating presentations was as easy as a conversation? ChatGPT can help you achieve just that.

Debater

This bunch of prompts will help you debate like an ancient Greek philosopher. 

Comes up with arguments

Are you preparing for the upcoming classroom debate? ChatGPT can list some great arguments to use and dominate the podium like a boss. 

Refutes opposing views

Do you want to captivate your audience’s attention from the start? ChatGPT can help you create hooks that grab people’s attention. Your debate skills will be off the charts!
