> After talking to literally hundreds of educators, employers, researchers, and policymakers, we have spent the last eight months developing the course on large language models (LLMs) that we think every college freshman needs to take.

Did you consider consulting with any college freshman or even college students? I know you're supposed to be guiding their education, but I think it's also good to check in and see what they care about learning.
