What makes a „good“ CS education?
Ensure that 100% students are enabled to pass (hard!) exams
4. Microsoft Academic Relations Team
I learn for my life,
not for my course.
Just kidding.
Many universities seem to educate students to become great scientists, not
industry leaders. Money is invested in research not in knowledge transfer.

I could teach IT, if
only someone could
explain me, how a
computer works.
The way how we teach developed much slower than content and media that
deliver and transfer eductaion.

This time-machine
will make us rich…
…and immortal when
we teach our students
how it works.
Strange. But education is often seen as a burden – not an enrichtment.

13. Microsoft Academic Relations Team Dear Alexander,
eduction seems to be useless.
It has no scientific outcome
nor the potential to get 3rd
party funds…
The „Humboldt Principle“ is not only freedom and independency to the
government, but also knowledge aquisition and transfer by teaching.
14. Microsoft Academic Relations Team
