Role Playing
A great way to delve deeply into theory is by engaging in role-playing and asking questions of the person you are conversing with. This approach also serves as an excellent method for teachers to use ChatGPT in their classes or assignments. Below is an example of how you could start a conversation with ChatGPT like this
Prompt
You’re going to act as a dissatisfied customer of Google Glass who wants information about the underlying marketing plan and is going to make suggestions for improvement. I am the producer of Google Glass and must defend myself. I’ll first give you information about why Google Glass flopped, which you don’t need to do anything with and don’t need to ask any questions about, but which may be relevant for the role-play. Please start the role-play only after I send ‘start’. Always stay in your role. Do you understand the instructions?

Mnemonic
Mnemonics are memory aids that help us remember information through associations. Therefore, it is easier to remember more complex material. This is ideal for students who need to study many things in their head and sometimes feel that it can’t all fit. With ChatGPT, you can easily create mnemonics that can help you pass your upcoming exam!
