Ask HN: Imposing a feedback on a school.
Dear HNers, this is a rant.<p>I am EE student in a small school of engineering at one of the unis in Europe. Every day I feel this is a waste of time, as most courses are conducted in downright wrong fashion, and yet I am forced to stay because I actually need a diploma.<p>Lectures are delivered by professors who dumb down every single topic because of their insufficient command in english.
At extreme cases, writing a test requires me to limit my vocabulary and I don&#x27;t even find myself fluent.<p>Programming classes are half-assed to a degree my colleagues don&#x27;t know what pointer is after three semesters of C&#x2F;C++ or find <i>ls</i> to be a mystery of unix world. Some of those people can become TAs in two years  and contribute to making next generations of students even lousier programmers via kind of a negative feedback loop.<p>But this doesn&#x27;t end there, there were classes which were sort of free credits, because profs implicitly told us they are incapable of teaching in english. And thus I don&#x27;t know how interpret stats in a research paper which is pathetic to be honest.<p>There were a few solid classes, mostly about the basics, which I thoroughly enjoyed.<p>I would like you to ask a question, is it possible to influence quality of teaching from the bottom? If not for me then for the next years of students, otherwise this country will never be innovative and stay piece of shit forever.
