FWIW, in this course I am trying a version of Mary Isbell’s student-selected reading curriculum.
Too early to say that is why attendance & participation are so strong, but it’s certainly my working thesis.

I got a lot of thoughts.... right now I'm at the overview of the earliest content period of the channel. I watched back then. I forgot about those episodes in that 2014-16ish period. I stopped watching when it moved away from that presentation style getting away from going to sites and experts.

Gonna have to drop everything to write about how the company running these Prompt Engineering Certificates (with laundered brand equity) was created by a Venture Capital firm.
Not “funded” or “bankrolled.” The VCs imagined it, invented it, built it, then installed their hand-picked “founder.”
