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.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.I hope this helps:
