Ask HN: Old CS lecturer looking for advice from current and recent students
I always wanted my CS lecturers/professors to start with a business case and work backwards. For example, like, “Lets build an e-commerce site”. What are the tools we need here? What kind of database? How should we design the front end? What tools for front end? etc. etc.<p>I’m not sure about others but i would have found such an approach very involving. Instead i was taught chapter by chapter of preset text book syllabus followed by standardized exams.<p>I hope this helps:
