Though it doesn’t yet exist, if such a course sounds as helpful to you as it does to me, then you could of course try to work with CFAR and other interested parties to try to develop such a course.
Is this an open invitation? Because such a course sounds even more helpful to me than it does to you, I suspect. I probably have a lot of catching up, learning and de-corrupting to do on myself before I’m at a level that would be useful rather than waste CFAR’s* time, though.
As a point of reference, I’ve recently been shifting my life goals towards the objective of reducing and understanding “knowledge” and “expertise” as quantifiable, reduced atomic units that can be discussed, acquired and evaluated on the same level of detail and precision as, say, electronic equipment or construction machinery is currently for IT businesses or construction contractors.
I suspect my best path towards this is through an in-depth analytic study of inferential distance and the interlocking of concepts into ideas, and how this could be fully reduced into units of knowledge and information such that it would always be clear, visible and obvious to a tutor exactly which specific units are required to get from A to B on a certain topic, and easy to evaluate which one is lacking in a student.
However, while people are often impressed with just the above statements, I cringe at the fact that I can only say it, and am only grasping at straws and vague mental handles when trying to make sense out of it and actually work on the problem. And it feels almost like an applause light to say this to you, but it seems like everything in this area is… just… going… too… slow… and that really bugs me a lot.
* and those “other interested parties” (Who are they, if you know any examples?)
Of course, you may always contact CFAR about such things. Whether it goes any further than that will vary.
As for “other interested parties,” I recall coming across philosophy and psychology professors who wanted to develop CFAR-like courses for university students, but I don’t recall who they are.
