Ouch, <rant on>
Precisely the problem I've had with academia for quite some time. I've spent over 6 years on a local University Advisory Board helping professors understand there's more to preparing students for the real world than teaching theory. You gotta teach skills too. In fact, back in grad school, the School of Architecture department insisted on students learning 'skills' on their own time, and leave the classroom for 'loftier learning experiences.' Of course, tenured professors blew a gasket when all the architecture students came begging for an architectural rendering class (which I did teach), in order to better prepare their skills for getting a job. Frankly, IMO the old master/apprentice approach had it much closer to correct: Teach skills first. Without the ability to draw, how can you expect them to design? I can tell you I've seen great successes using the same strategy in multiple companies over the years. IMO, you certainly have a low opinion of your students if you really think they believe "These things are trumpeted as ends in themselves." Any decent student will use it as yet another tool and stepping stone to further their learning and carreer. <rant off> Judy Perry wrote:

Sounds like Flash to me. LOL btw, good TROLLING Judy, you got me! _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
