Lab Tips
- Bring real tasks. Labs work best when you use your actual work, not hypotheticals.
- Save everything. Lab deliverables become your AI portfolio (Lab 12).
- Use BRIEFS. Every lab prompt should follow the BRIEFS framework from Module 4.
- Reflect. Each lab ends with a reflection question. Take it seriously — the reflection is where learning solidifies.
