Hello, people, please let's talk about your plans after education

Things I hate about college and how I deal with it

In comments to the previous post we discused things we do at college and how it help to form ourselves as a professional. And there are things that I don't like about our education. In this post I want to tell why I don't like and how I try to improve situation.

1. Wrong material.

Things that we learn are always userful and up to date. For example we learn how to program with Pascal, Delphi, but even Valentina Victorivna told us: "I think a good programmer doesn't work in Delphi". The question is why do we spend about two years learning thing that we propably won't use in our professional life. I know, some people think this is helping to learn basics and so on. But, this is quite true. We don't go in depth with concepts and ideas we're working on. We're told what to do, we take a textbook and start do some coding. All classes that we've taken by now weren't crystal clear and detailed. I mean almost all things we look at just for basics. Even important things.

2. To Slow

Our curriculum is 4 years. MIT's computer science curriculum is also 4 year. But what we learn and what learn guys at MIT are like sky and earth. 

And there is some other points, like useless labs we do, not all but there is a lot like this (this is totally my opinion).

So how I try to handle this?

1. Googling

We all do it and we like it.

2. Online education

There are a lot of different education resouces on the Web. To name a few: Coursera, Edx, Udacity

This is Eldorado for self-learners. For example, I finished a course about programming language Python from two teacher of University of Toronto. I did well, so I've got a certificate about.

Also, I'm currently taking course CS50 Introducing to Computer Science from Harvard. I have the same materials and resources as a Harvard's students. This is realy cool. 

3. Videocourses.

If I want to learn some new techonology such as Node.js or a programing languase such a C# I usually used video cousces from Lynda.com, plural-sight.net and others. This courses are always short and very informative. Because usually they are made by actualy professionals who are working with them and not by academic teachers. 

So. This is my opinion and some information I think is worth to share. Thanks. 

Hello, people, maybe do you want to talk about something?
