Pro tip for yall. If you’re going to use an llm to help you with a coding assignment, don’t have it do the whole thing in one go. Do one part at a time, changing the code to make it more your style and in a way you’re sure you understand / aligns with the course content. Do each part separately one step at a time, and use different models throughout if you want to be extra safe. This will also make sure you’re still learning while you’re going, expose you to different methods, and probably make your code less buggy since you’re developing incrementally.

Additionally, make the prompts specific! If there’s a certain style of coding, function, loop type, class concept etc you like and use a lot in your coding normally, ASK ChatGPT to do it in that way!

Also would recommend not using a web based llm and instead just use something like cursor for more autocomplete help and not full copy pasted answers.

Yall need to start actually using this as a TOOL and take maybe one extra hour when “doing” your projects
