What if, instead of the traditional system of education, where you pay someone to ram some course material down your gullet, we let the students dictate the material?
My big problem is that I put a lot of work into 50 tiny projects that 1) I was never interested in in the first place and 2) suck because I didn't have enough time to make them worthwhile.
So what if the course was just a fuzzy outline and you, the student, could fill in the blanks?
Learn what you want to learn, do what you want to do. The goal is to have something to show for it, whether it's a project that completed successfully or a lesson learned about what not to do next time.
So you pay the college to help you do what you want to do, and critique you on it after you're done; not to run you through an obstacle course and award you with a piece of paper at the end. |

The purpose of the obstac le course is to prove you can do the work.
Thing is there's not enough student body involvement in student government. |

That's what everyone says, but it's bullshit. That's not the purpose, it's just all that's left after you've stripped away what it was originally supposed to be.
And I'm not talking about getting a house or any other milestone on the treadmill of life, just knowledge. Millions of years of evolution so my brain could be wasted lighting another goddamn cookie-cutter scene, or making my 500th design document for a game I'll never make.
I'm so glad I had to write a 20 page doc on tic-tac-fucking-toe, that's valuable experience and a great asset to have at GDC! I'm sure EA will be the most impressed, perhaps they'll make 11 sequels to it. I signed up to make games, and so far all we've done is waste time and play house. |

Sponsor | | Klassy | May 14, 10:26am | The project of certain elements of humanity to become godlike beings is doomed. It is merely a matter that, in order to attain their goal, they must lose all the supposed benefit of it, and become utter servants of the pattern.
We're "improving" things supposedly, and destroying the value of them in the process.
Better I think to improve ourselves in a way that we seek and obtain happiness, in fact even in the most ridiculous fashion.
But unfortunately, in a world of the sort we find ourselves, the price for this is drastic.
And thus even this goal is lost -- the others around us harming us terribly for pursuing irregular and personal happiness.
We concede and grow cold and aloof towards each other and stiff, bit by bit, seeking only stillness and warmth, losing ourselves and becoming mere repetitive cyclic forms -- abandoning all that once made us worth existing.
And then existence itself ends.
But in this fading fabric, in this clockwork running down, a few of us here and there continue to spark and light torches in the darkness. We may be crushed out by the world at large, one at a time, but not all at once. Never all at once.
They do not have that capacity yet, nor shall they, for they too must read by the light of our flame.
World, "I still believe / someday you and me / will find ourselves in love again."
I still believe, World. Do you? |
