Check the clarity of specifications.
- If you have e.g. a programming task described by text, you can try to copy its specifications to AI tool and have it solve the task.
- If AI provides a wrong solution, it shall give you an idea what shall be described better, and you can improve the specifications.
- If AI solves the task correctly, then the description is probably sufficiently clear.
- Downside: this check can be used only for tasks solvable by AI tool, which may in certain situations disqualify the task itself from further usage.
Let AI tool generate questions for a quiz/test.
- Create a correct function in your programming language, perhaps using non-descriptive names of variables.
- Use the following prompt: “I have the following function in <insert language>: <insert the function code> Propose 10 quiz questions related to various aspects of this function. For each question, generate one correct and several incorrect answers.”
- Choose those suggestions that have a pedagogical value.
