And so it is, just like you said it would be
So, I've been lurking on this site for a few years now and only recently started leaving comments.
Anyway, since 2011, I've been working on the side writing a book for helping high school kids in college. It started when my younger sister had a ton of questions, but she was focusing on unimportant stuff and not getting there were more important things to think about.
Anyway, fast forward 5 years. I published the book on Amazon 9 months ago and just finished publishing my first online course.
It's all well and good, but now I'm wondering what next. I really need help figuring out what my next few courses should be about. Any college students and parents out there have an idea?
TL;DR: I made a college prep course and wonder what topic I should cover next.

I like the idea, but I don't necessarily want to keep up with tax law changes either. I'm not a CPA so it would be more like, file a 1040-EZ

some of their papers, I've noticed a lot of them don't know the first thing about constructing & defending a thesis, which blows my mind 3/

and others seem to think the assignment readings and note-taking are optional and are shocked when they fail tests. 4/4

I've heard that a lot actually. I'm working on my second course, which is dedicated to writing essays. Any particular pet peeves you see?

I know this is just the basics, but a lot of students don't know how to write a thesis (or even what a thesis is). Intro sentences always 1/

seem to need work as well. But aside from that, I'm hate reading papers that the student obviously didn't care at all about; essays might 2/
