Prepares you for: It gives you the words the other paths use. A criterion — one named quality you judge by. A rubric — the checklist those criteria sit in. Then a project brief stops being a wall of unknown words.
What you learn: You follow how written examples, human preferences, reward signals and evaluation fit together to change a model. You see how a score can go up while the real task quietly gets worse. No coding is needed.
Why this order: It follows the training steps in the order they really run. So each idea explains the next one.
