Stop using ChatGPT FOR THESIS

ChatGPT can be a great tool for research, if you use it right. These are 5 prompting techniques that can help you get better results:
1️⃣ RISE: Role, Instruction, Steps, Example

Example: “Act as a research assistant. Summarize key arguments in this article (upload article). Break it down into: 1. Main claim, 2. Supporting evidence, 3. Limitations, 4. Practical applications.” Perfect for structuring literature reviews!

2️⃣ CIDI: Context, Instruction, Details, Insights

Example: “I’m writing a thesis on climate policy. Summarize research on policy gaps in renewable energy with a focus on the past 5 years. Highlight key findings, unresolved issues, and potential areas for further research.” This gives both breadth and targeted insights.

3️⃣ PQRF: Problem, Question, Role, Format

Example: “The challenge is analyzing survey data. How would a data analyst recommend structuring findings on respondent demographics? Provide a bullet-point list to keep it organized.” Ideal for turning data into clear, actionable points.

4️⃣ TACS: Topic, Audience, Constraints, Structure

Example: “I’m drafting a methodology section on survey data analysis for a social science thesis. Make it suitable for a professional audience, within 200 words, and use subheadings for clarity.” Great for building sections that need structure and brevity.

5️⃣ SPEC: Specificity, Purpose, Examples, Constraints

Example: “Generate a discussion section on the impact of social media on student productivity, focusing on quantitative studies. Aim for a balanced view, include one pro and one con, and keep it under 150 words.” This keeps responses concise and relevant.
