The level of correlation to what was taught to real world give a shit is like 20%. I'm reviewing what was all taught as a job prep / final review of the whole degree and I can not believe how much of it was a waste.

About 80% is just useless made up terminology to go in depth on a subject that DID NOT need to be gone in depth to. Only 20% of the material was real world relevant / give a shitable and the rest of the 80% was term bloat and making a huge class out of over the top effort homeworks to make up effort / work on the term bloat.

Basically 80% of the classes were just teaching you the book, not the topic. The teacher was just a lazy ass and was given a book to teach as a topic so they made a class on teaching the book. Zero relevance on if the book mattered in the real world (likely 20% was directly applicable in the real world, other 80% the made up term bloat).

I can't believe how much time was wasted. And a lot of the classes didn't even matter at all anyways. I've got a cyber security class that spent an entire 3 hour class teaching about the economics behind APARTMENT RENTAL PRICES.

Shit like Software Design. The idea of 'patterns'. Ie 'the singleton'. An object that creates itself on attempting to use it and only allows one instance of itself. That shit is useful. However the usefullness of this info could be taught in a single 3 hour class.

Stuff like 'Algorithms'. Fine that is great. However it's mostly just a brutal weed out class (also fine b/c f off weak coders no offense but they turn into liars in jobs). Teach as many algorithms etc as possible asap.

All but 3 classes were incredibly inefficient. OS and Algorithms were pretty much the only two classes to the brim were good content filled classes. The only problem with those is why were they completely retaught as a masters class? These are already given as undergrad.

Most the rest had a lot of good content but the class only needed to be 20-30% of it's original self to get the actual content taught.

Ie a databasing class. I learned and incredible amount of how to design your tables and how to setup pure god like sql calls. And how to make those calls return in like 1s or less over 1gb of data. And some more overall info on db systems however the whole class could have been 50% the amount of classes or less to get that same important information.
