Tim, if you want to sweat blood whilst you're at uni, then go to
Eastern Europe and study there. I've come from that way. And i know
that's not a good system.<br>
Yes, you learn about very important things deeply, but they also force
you to do unnecessary things and soon you wanna commit suicide. <br>
I'm not saying this Abertay 'low tide rowing' uni is the best place we
can ever be, but not asking you to spend 168 hrs a week on uni work
gives you time to<br>
"research", look after things you're interested in - not like in EE
where you just loose your motivation for studying because of the way
they torture you.<br>
All in all, you are right, but we have to be realistic and admit that
there are only a few places around the world where you get exactly what
you want.<br>
Yours faithfully,<br>
attila<br>

this all true and well but if u raise the bar for a course say ethical
hacking and countermeasures then i think that with the presumed greater
understanding of technology one can at least teach courses which
require a greater understanding of technology.
<br>
<br>
i mean i am not doubting abertays efficient business sheme but what i
am failing to grasp is that lecturers fell sad about not being able to
teach certain part of their subject, just like less ball who said we
would not be able to learn about databases.
<br>
<br>
and then u have OOP, the whole thing was designed not to be called java
but programming language hence force teaching student the simple think
in several different languages is stupid. they went to a great who ha
to explain the idea behind each not from a java perspective. <br>
<br>
i have learnt about for loops in: javascript, java, vb coldfusion, etc
and i dont think that the idea behind it changes very much <br>
<br>
i mean come on i signed up to learn about deep computing not become a
frinking web designer or a general computing student <br>
<br>
i want to learn<br>
<br>
and even 3rd year modules like netbeans or as it is called component
based solutions only really teach u a bit of programing and the most is
dragging and dropping but what if the interface changes well then most
abertay students are fucked.
