Prompts Guide — Datacurso Assign AI

This guide helps you write prompts to get grading + feedback for Moodle assignments.

It shows the range you can use in prompts:

  • one conservative example (simple and safe)
  • one more complete example (still conservative, but more specific)

Quick rules (better results)​

Include:

  • The goal of the assignment (what the student should demonstrate)
  • The grading style you want (rubric / guide / simple)
  • The scale (for example 0–100)
  • The tone (supportive, neutral, direct)
  • A clear feedback format (strengths → improvements → next step)

If the criteria or instructions are missing, ask the assistant to request clarification instead of guessing.
