[lugm.org] University of Mauritius Head technician

[selven]

only problem with the car driving example is that this falls under a
vocational training and not an academic training. You can't get the
instincts to fly a jet plane out of the blue by taking a few car driving
lessons.

But if you know the principles of physics and know how to read your way
through manuals and how to dig out information and be curious, :p you can
have a chance at flying a jet plane out of the blue,

The problem as i see it, seems to be getting the right people to be placed
in the right field.  The lecturer is here to give you the logics behind
whatever you want to study, but ultimately you will have to study it by
yourself.

For example, if you take an algorithm class, its not to make you know a
particular language, but it is about making you learn different ways to
think in solving a problem. nothing more, the lecturer shouldn't be
expected to hold you hand and teach you how to actually implement that in
say XYZ industry problems. . . if he does that, then he's just being cool.
