From the student's perspective: 1. List the 5 doubts or objections they're most likely to have before enrolling. 2. For each doubt, explain to "what depth" this course must teach to dispel it. 3. Judge whether this topic leans toward "people want to learn it but it's not urgent" or "painful enough they'd pay right away," and give suggestions to make the topic more precise.
