ChatGPT Exams: Why should students have all the fun?

ChatGPT Exams: Teachers should have some fun too!

ChatGPT has generated lots of debate specially in the academic world about its use (and abuse) by students to complete assignments. Some favor use of ChatGPT to improve analytical skills of students by conversations. Others point out increased dependence and lack of self-learning or reflection to come up with answers. Well, to divert the thought process, the discussions on how teachers can use ChatGPT are surprisingly missing from the hype.

ChatGPT exams – that sounds so interesting! ChatGPT can be used to create exam questions instantly, offering immense opportunities. Tools can be developed which can create questions in real-time.

Moreover, the tone of questions can be moved from boring definition oriented to more of fun.

I did some tests with ChatGPT to generate *funny* questions for marketing domain. Below is the list – some may appear in future exams.

  1. “If you were to market a product for cats, how would you convince them to buy it? Remember, they’re notoriously picky customers.”
  2. “Create a tagline for a new line of spicy salsa that’s so hot, it’s rumored to be the secret ingredient in rocket fuel.”
  3. “You’ve been hired to market a time machine. Explain how you would target both history buffs and procrastinators in your advertising campaign.”
  4. “In an alternate universe, marketers communicate with interpretive dance instead of words. Demonstrate your marketing strategy for a new line of sneakers using interpretive dance moves (in writing, of course).”
  5. “If you were to market a ‘self-driving shopping cart’ to busy parents, what features would you highlight? Bonus points for incorporating a ‘parent’s escape button.'”
  6. “Your task is to market a ‘smart toilet paper dispenser’ that uses AI to determine the perfect amount of toilet paper needed for each use. Describe your marketing pitch, and don’t forget to add a touch of humor.”
  7. “Create a marketing plan for a fictional brand of ‘unicorn repellent spray.’ Be sure to address the unique challenges of selling a product for a mythical problem.”
  8. “If you had to promote a brand of bottled water in a world where people only drink beverages with elaborate names and backstories, what would you name your water, and what’s its dramatic origin story?”
  9. “Imagine you’re marketing a line of ‘superhero insurance.’ How would you convince ordinary citizens that they need protection against unexpected super-powered mishaps?”
  10. “You’re tasked with marketing a ‘banana-shaped phone.’ Explain how you would position this product as the ultimate tool for fruit lovers who are tired of boring, straight-edged smartphones.”
