The one course where I showed up to every class was a discussion class. It was on AI and each lecture was a 10 minute topic intro, 30 min of group discussion and research, and 10 min of presentations.

The courses I never attended a single class for were reading screenshots of a textbook.

Idk my fellow student didn’t have any more insight than I did. Without work experience it’s all theoretical

Theory is kind of the point thought. College isn’t/shouldn’t be just a job training program. That’s part of the problem.

Without experience you can’t ground theory into reality and you miss the critical details that actually make things work. For me interesting stuff happens in the implementation later between theory and dirty reality.
