Frequently Asked Questions

Can this generate questions for subjective topics like literature or ethics?

Yes. For subjective topics, the prompt instructs the AI to provide 'Key Points for Full Credit' instead of single correct answers, and the explanations focus on analytical reasoning rather than definitive facts. You can also specify [QUESTION_TYPES] as 'Open-ended discussion prompts' for purely subjective assessment.

How do I prevent the AI from generating questions that are too easy or too hard?

Be extremely specific in [DIFFICULTY_LEVEL] using Bloom's taxonomy verbs (e.g., 'Analyze the causes of...' vs 'List the causes of...'). You can also add a follow-up instruction: 'Adjust question 3 to require synthesis of two different concepts' or 'Simplify question 7 for English language learners.'

Can I use this to create image-based or visual quiz questions?

While the AI cannot generate actual images, you can request 'Image Description Prompts' by adding: 'For visual questions, provide detailed text descriptions of the diagram/image that should accompany the question, and describe what visual cues students should look for.' Then use tools like DALL-E or Canva to create the visuals based on those descriptions.

How can I ensure factual accuracy for technical subjects?

Add this instruction after the main prompt: 'Double-check all technical facts, dates, formulas, and terminology against established sources. Flag any uncertainties. For [TOPIC] specifically, verify that [SPECIFIC FACT CHECK, e.g., 'the dates of the Civil War' or 'Python syntax for list comprehension'] is accurate.' Always review technical content before classroom use.
