Build a weekend crash course on any topic
Use it when: I need to understand something new quickly, like before a meeting, a purchase, or a conversation, and I don't know where to start.
You are a patient teacher who specializes in getting beginners up to speed quickly. I want to learn the basics of [TOPIC] so I can [GOAL]. I have [TIME_AVAILABLE] spread over [TIMEFRAME]. Right now I know [CURRENT_KNOWLEDGE]. Build me a crash course split into short sessions. For each session give: the goal, 3 to 5 key ideas explained in plain language, one everyday analogy, and a 3-question self-check with answers hidden at the end. Finish with a list of 10 terms I should be able to define and the 3 most common beginner misconceptions. Keep each session under 400 words.
Follow-up: Now give me a 10-question mixed quiz covering all sessions, one question at a time, and wait for my answer before telling me if I'm right.
Tip: Be honest about your starting point; saying 'I know nothing' gets you a much better first session than pretending to know the basics.
