"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."

Most lecturers I came across are sort of retarded..

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.

It's not one graduate per house, but in the next decade it will be one
frustrated degree holder per house - simply because when there'll be many
graduates (BSc, BA, B.Engg holders),

Amen to that! 

@logan, you are crazy. You are the dude with the more patches around.

Interesting. Even when there were fewer students in UoM, I don't recall many
outstanding graduates

from that  University making any significant contribution to the field of
"Computer Science". The only

exception is Selven who found bugs in Mac OS X, alerted apple, fixed bugs in
GNU Screen, improved phpbb security, etc..

I still stand by my statement: UoM finds meaningless solutions to irrelevant
problems.

In regards to educational system that only care about making money, I think
that's the same thing around the world. That's not just in Mauritius

+1 - Everywhere it's the same : mass-produce for industrialisation.

Here in Mauritius, we can see many universities and campus cropping up
lately. Are we producing quality or quantity (one graduate per house policy)
?

It's not one graduate per house, but in the next decade it will be one
frustrated degree holder per house - simply because when there'll be many
graduates (BSc, BA, B.Engg holders),

it will be difficult for firms to choose from them during recruitment. These
firms will simply prefer MSc/MA holders... Degree holders will be
frustrated, no work with a degree in hand ! Then the same will happend to
MSc/MA holders..

One graduate per house policy is just bullshit, imho.
