It's obviously a very broad topic, but one thing that I find at least my education hasn't covered yet is how to actually _learn_.
By far the biggest part of computer science is learning how to learn the new stuff, and forget outdated concepts.
Their way of teaching around 8 subjects in a single semester is downright laughable to me. The result is that I am not really proficient in any of these 8 subjects beyond what the syllabus covered, which was almost fully outdated and covered such little ground that I cannot really do anything in the real world with this knowledge, except give their petty little "exam".
So whats the point of teaching all these broad, frankly unrelated topics (e.g. flip flop counters) when I'm not even going to ever use them in daily life?

Instead, how about dedicating an entire month learning git, nothing else. FFS, I've been using it for almost everything, and still don't really understand what it is actually doing.
Surely, learning how git works will be more useful to me than just learning how a hypothetical priority queue can be implemented, no?
