Lesson Content

Your next course should answer one question: what skill would make your next real task easier, clearer, safer, or more valuable?

Professional Use Case: A small business owner does not start with advanced video generation. They first learn prompt foundations and answer checking so every later workflow is safer.

Student task: Choose one outcome from Lesson 1 and write a next-course decision note: the outcome, the course path, why it fits, and what you expect to produce by the end. Student task help: Use pretend, public, or low-risk practice material. Copying the first AI answer into a text editor means pasting it into a plain text or document editor so you can compare it with your revised answer. A clarification prompt is a short follow-up that tells the AI what to fix, add, remove, or explain. Example clarification prompt: "Make this easier for a beginner, add one concrete example, and show the next three steps as a checklist."

Starter scenario: "My outcome is to create better customer emails. My first paid path is an assistant-skills course because I need drafting, revision, and verification practice before I use creator tools."

Troubleshooting: If the path feels too broad, narrow the outcome to one task you can finish this week. If two providers seem equal, choose the one you already have access to and can practice with today.

Quality Rubric:

• The note names one outcome.
• The course choice has a reason.
• The expected result is concrete enough to recognize when finished.
