CORE-104 Working with AI I - Models, Context & Verification. 48 learning hours, 8 topics. The first of two courses on working with AI, and the one that decides whether a student uses these systems well or badly for the rest of their career. An accurate mental model of what a language model is and is not; specifying tasks precisely; and - most of the course - verifying output the student did not produce. The programme lets students use AI throughout, on one condition made concrete here: they are accountable for everything they submit, including the parts they did not type. This course teaches the standard that every other course in the academy then enforces. It is not a prompt-engineering course. It is a verification course. THE 8 TOPICS — FIXED 1. What a language model is (6 h) - tokens, prediction, sampling and context: a working mental model with no magic left in it 2. Capabilities and hard limits (6 h) - what these systems do well, where they fail, and why the failures are confident rather than obvious 3. Context is the interface (6 h) - context windows, what to put in and leave out, and why retrieval beats a longer prompt 4. Specifying a task precisely (6 h) - turning a vague request into a specification a model, or a junior, can execute without guessing 5. Hallucination and fabrication (6 h) - how invented facts, citations and APIs appear, and the checks that catch each kind 6. Verifying model output (6 h) - independent checks, ground truth and adversarial reading; assuming the answer is wrong until shown otherwise 7. Cost, latency and choosing a model (6 h) - token pricing, response time, and picking the smallest model that passes: engineering, not brand preference 8. Using AI honestly in your own work (6 h) - the academy's disclosure standard, what counts as your work, and defending something you did not type BY THE END, A STUDENT CAN - explain in plain terms what a language model does, without either mysticism or dismissal - turn a vague request into a specification precise enough to execute without guessing - identify fabricated facts, citations and APIs in model output, and say how they checked - choose a model on measured cost, latency and fitness rather than reputation - disclose their use of AI honestly and defend work they produced with it ADDITIONAL DELIVERABLE Topic 8 produces the academy's disclosure standard in practice. Every Rung 2 and Rung 3 deliverable in the programme is submitted with a Provenance & Verification Statement answering four questions: what did you delegate, what did you change and why, how do you know it is correct, and what is still unverified. You will be asked to write the student-facing guidance for that statement and the rubric for marking it, because every other trainer in the academy will apply them. WHO WE WANT Someone who builds with these models and is honest about them - neither a booster nor a sceptic. You need an accurate technical mental model (tokens, sampling, context) and real experience of where these systems fail confidently. The heart of this course is verification, and the person we want is one who has been burned by a plausible wrong answer and built a habit out of it. Able to write. Able to teach a 20-year-old to say "I have not verified this part" and treat that as a strength. TO BID, ANSWER THESE 1. Explain what a language model is, in under 150 words, with no magic and no dismissal. 2. Give three fabrication types and the specific check that catches each one. 3. How do you assess "verified this output" in a way a student cannot fake? 4. Draft the four-question Provenance & Verification Statement guidance in under 300 words. 5. Confirm you understand this is a verification course and not a prompt-engineering course.

Hi, I’m a Senior AI/ML Engineer with practical experience in LLMs, RAG, AI agents, and production AI systems. I understand CORE-104 is a verification course, not prompt engineering. I can teach students how LLMs work, their limitations, hallucinations, context, model selection, and most importantly, how to independently verify AI-generated facts, citations, APIs, and code. I can also create the Provenance & Verification Statement guidance and grading rubric with practical exercises that make students accountable for everything they submit. Best Regards, Shakila Naz

Hello, I understand you're creating a foundational course focused on the critical and often-overlooked skill of AI output verification. The goal is to instill a lifelong habit of treating AI-generated content as a starting point that requires rigorous validation, making students accountable for everything they submit. This is about building an accurate mental model, not just prompt crafting. Here are my responses to your questions: 1. A language model is a statistical tool. It operates on 'tokens' (pieces of words) and its sole function is to predict the next token in a sequence based on patterns learned from a massive dataset of text and code. It doesn't understand concepts; it calculates probabilities. The 'creativity' we see is just the model sampling from a distribution of likely next tokens. The context window is its short-term memory, and everything outside of it is forgotten. It is a powerful pattern-matcher, not a reasoning engine. 2. Three fabrication types and their checks: - Factual Fabrication (e.g., incorrect historical dates): Check against an authoritative primary source like official archives, scientific journals, or government publications. Do not use another AI or a secondary aggregator. - Citation Fabrication (e.g., a non-existent academic paper): Verify the citation directly. Search for the DOI in a database like Google Scholar or PubMed. Check if the cited journal and volume actually exist. - Code/API Fabrication (e.g., using a function that doesn't exist): Execute the code in a sandbox environment and consult the official library/API documentation to verify the function's signature, parameters, and existence. 3. I would assess verification by requiring a 'Verification Trail' with every submission. Students must document each claim they checked, the exact query or method used, a direct link to the primary source they used as ground truth, and a one-sentence justification for why that source is authoritative. This makes the process the focus of the assessment; faking the trail would be more work than doing the verification. 4. Draft P&V Statement Guidance: Your Provenance & Verification Statement holds you accountable for your work. Answer these four questions for every deliverable: - What did you delegate? List the specific tasks given to the AI (e.g., 'Generated an outline,' 'Drafted Python function for X'). - What did you change and why? Detail your edits to the AI's output (e.g., 'Corrected factual inaccuracies in paragraph 2,' 'Refactored the code for efficiency'). Explain your reasoning. - How do you know it is correct? Provide your verification evidence. Link to the primary sources, test results, or official documentation you used to confirm the output's accuracy and functionality. - What is still unverified? Honestly declare any parts you have not been able to verify. This demonstrates academic integrity. (e.g., 'The model's claim about X could not be confirmed with a primary source.'). 5. I confirm I understand this is a verification course, not a prompt-engineering course. The objective is to build a professional habit of skepticism and rigorous validation. Regards, Rohit

Hello, "AI Verification Tutor Curriculum" - you need a clear, honest course on model verification I’ll build the curriculum around a Docker‑based notebook that runs a small open‑source LLM, letting students see token flow and run verification scripts instantly – this keeps costs low and guarantees a reproducible environment. I’ve delivered a similar AI‑driven learning tool in my modular proposal engine project: https://www.freelancer.com/projects/ai-content-creation/Powered-Modular-Proposal-Engine/reviews To prevent students from fabricating verification statements, I’ll embed hidden test prompts that only a genuine verification process can answer correctly. Which LMS (e.g., Moodle, Canvas) do you plan to use for hosting the course materials? Looking forward to working with you. Artur Giżycki

Hi, I’m a full-time AI/full-stack developer with 10+ years of experience, and I understand this is a verification course, not a prompt-engineering course. I can help build practical, student-friendly content covering: LLM basics: tokens, prediction, sampling and context. Fabrication checks: verify facts against primary sources, validate citations by opening them, and test APIs against official documentation. Verification: students must provide evidence of what they checked, how they checked it, and what remains unverified. Provenance Statement: What did you delegate? What did you change and why? How do you know it’s correct? What remains unverified? My approach focuses on teaching students to confidently say “I have not verified this part” rather than trusting fluent AI output.

100% doable. Verification is the real skill here, not prompting. One. A language model predicts the next token from probability, not knowledge. Training compresses patterns into parameters. Sampling picks likely words, sometimes not the top one. Context is its only memory, nothing persists otherwise. It has no built-in check and no idea when it's wrong. Not magic, not useless, just confident by default. Two. Fabricated facts: check against a primary source, never another AI. Fabricated citations: search the exact title or quote directly. Fabricated APIs: run the code, or confirm it in real docs. Three. Never trust the word "verified" alone. Require a link, screenshot, or reproducible step. Spot check one random claim weekly, live. Four. What did you delegate: name the exact part. What did you change: list edits and why. How do you know it's correct: name the real check you ran. What's unverified: say it plainly, own the gap. Five. Confirmed. Verification course, not prompt engineering. Catching wrong answers, not writing clever prompts. Feel free to DM me if you want examples of how I've handled this before. Let's do it.

Hello!! I understand you need a verification-focused AI tutor who can teach models, context, precise task specification, hallucination detection, independent verification, model selection, and honest AI use across all eight fixed topics. • Should lessons be delivered as written modules or interactive lessons? • Do you already have a preferred student assessment format? • Should the verification rubric include practical AI exercises? A language model predicts likely token sequences from context; it does not understand truth automatically. Fabrications can include invented facts, false citations, and nonexistent APIs. These require independent source checks, citation verification, and real API or documentation testing. Verification should require evidence: source links, reproduced tests, reasoning, and a clear record of what remains unverified. The Provenance Statement should cover what was delegated, what was changed and why, how correctness was established, and what remains unverified. This is clearly a verification course, not prompt engineering. Relevant experience with AI systems, evaluation, teaching, and responsible AI practices makes this a strong fit. Let us discuss the curriculum and assessment approach in chat. Best regards Farhin B

Hi there, The hard part is not explaining what a language model is. It is helping students build a clear understanding of its mechanics, including tokens, prediction, and context—without the allure of mysticism. A language model generates text based on patterns learned from vast datasets, producing outputs that can sometimes mislead if not scrutinized. Fabrication types include hallucinated facts, misleading citations, and incorrect API responses. To catch hallucinations, cross-referencing against reliable sources is essential; for citations, checking against the original sources helps; and for APIs, testing the functionality directly can reveal inconsistencies. Assessing "verified this output" is about establishing a clear process: students must demonstrate their checks through documentation and peer review, ensuring accountability. For the Provenance & Verification Statement guidance, students should address: what was delegated, what changes were made and why, the methods used for verification, and what remains unverified. I understand this is a verification course focused on accountability and critical analysis, not prompt engineering. If you're interested in discussing this further, I'm always ready to talk.

The project requires building an AI verification tutor focused on models, context, and output verification as detailed in CORE-104. I've done similar precise instructional design with technical content, notably in AI content creation and engineering frameworks, aligning with the verification emphasis here. The strategy leverages accurate mental models of language systems, operationalizing context management and verification steps familiar from AI content and model development work, akin to the rigor seen in the crypto dashboard for real-time data and the teaching approach in the sampler output verification courses. A first milestone could be delivering the core course outline and the Provenance & Verification Statement guidance in two weeks, ensuring tight alignment before full module development begins. Missing specifics like student platform or integration tools would be clarified early to tailor content delivery and assessment standards. How do you envision integrating the Provenance & Verification Statement guidance into the students' submission workflow to reinforce verification rigor?

Hi there, You need a verification course, not a prompt-engineering course, and I can help build that standard precisely. I’ve spent the last 4 years solving exactly this type of problem: turning AI use into accountable, teachable practice. I will draft the student-facing guidance, the marking rubric, and the verification examples so learners can explain what they delegated, what they changed, how they checked it, and what remains unverified. I’ll also align the 8 topics, define the disclosure standard for Rung 2 and Rung 3 work, and ensure every exercise reinforces adversarial reading, ground truth checks, and honest AI use. Which student deliverables should the Provenance & Verification Statement rubric prioritize most heavily: correctness, disclosure completeness, or quality of verification evidence?

CORE-104 (Build AI Verification Program Tutor) focuses on accountability, not prompt theatrics. I can help deliver a verification-first learning experience: accurate mental models of language models (tokens, sampling, context), precise task specification, and robust methods to detect hallucinations and fabricated citations/APIs. The course structure across 8 fixed topics aligns well with building repeatable student habits, assume answers are wrong until verified; use independent checks and ground truth; read adversarially; and document what was delegated vs changed. A key differentiator is Topic 8’s Provenance & Verification Statement: students produce a student-facing guidance plus a marking rubric that standardizes disclosure and prevents “looks right” submissions from passing without evidence. I can craft concise instruction text and a practical rubric that distinguishes verified claims, partial verification, and unverified assumptions. I understand this is a verification course, not a prompt-engineering course.

Hi, I can teach this course around one core habit: never trust AI output simply because it sounds correct. I’d give students a practical understanding of how language models work, then train them to specify tasks clearly, identify confident mistakes, verify claims independently, and take responsibility for anything AI-assisted. The course would focus on: Models, tokens, sampling and context Model limitations and hallucinations Precise task specification Fact, citation and API verification Independent checks and ground truth Cost, latency and model selection Honest AI use and disclosure The Provenance & Verification Statement and marking rubric I understand this is a verification course, not a prompt-engineering course, and I’d build the teaching around real examples where plausible AI answers fail and students must prove what is actually correct.
