  • Subject and grade level
  • Assignment instructions
  • Teaching goals (assessment criteria)
  • Suggested answer (optional)

Instructors have control over the style of the feedback. By providing a suggested answer to a question, our original prompt engineering techniques significantly reduce the likelihood of error.
