I recognize this. Strongest case in point, when I was still in uni we had a course called "Multimedia Authoring" (whatever that meant). The teacher was amazingly flexible and said something along the lines of "learn whatever you want to learn as long as you create a project out of it." I happened to be a student representative of computer science at the time for high schoolers and their parents. One parent ask "can you make iPhone apps?" I told them "no but I can learn it." He offered me to pay a - at that time - pretty nice amount of money. That was my highest grade for a course ever. I loved the learning process as well!
