Hello mentors,

I completed the lab for Week 2 (Prompt Engineering - FLAN-T5 summarization lab) and saved my notebook successfully. Unfortunately, I couldn’t click the “Submit” button before the lab session expired.

My notebook was fully completed and saved on time — the submit step just got delayed due to the timer. I’ve attached screenshots for reference, and I’m requesting if it’s possible to reopen the lab for submission or if my saved work can be reviewed manually.

Course: Generative AI with Large Language Models  
Platform: Coursera  
Lab: Week 2 – Summarize Dialogue (Prompt Engineering Exercise)

Thank you for your support!

Attaching a screenshot from the lab showing the model’s output alongside the human summary for comparison. This was just before the submission timeout. I had successfully completed and saved the notebook, but due to the rush and unstable internet, I unfortunately forgot to click the Submit button. Requesting review or possible reopening of the lab. Thank you for your understanding.

When you close the Lab, the lab scripts reset to their original state. You have to reopen the lab and fill in the solutions again, but if you want to work on many sessions, then what you can do is download that lab file and then have a copy of the solution locally, which you can use to submit in another Lab attempt.
