I did CS, didn't like it, switched to IT, go IT yay!
yep. it will end in tears. academics should not try to teach practical skills. companies who can hire graduate IT people and pay them less than brickies labourers should be able to commit to 3 to 6 months of practical training, which is all that is required. better than some pie in the sky academic teaching a dumbed down, incorrect and out of date version of whatever they guess is relevant to industry.LeftrightOut said:
Note that this depends on the uni. Although this seems to be the case at UTS and USyd (based on conversations with friends), UNSW is still very much acedimic, not bowing to the hype of new stuff (no .net taught for instance)LeftrightOut said:

UOW is starting to do this. In the past 5 years they have removed 2 subjects considered core by IEEE and ACM: computer organisation (CSCI131) and computer architecture (CSCI234).LeftrightOut said:yay a forum for the uni people who get accused of "playing computer games all day"
On a different note, anyone notice how the universities are starting to deliver more practical/vocational CS and IT rather than academic theory? Especially vendor specific stuff.
