I'd say this depends a lot on what field you are studdying. I don't believe many things have changed with libral arts and humanities because the fields overall are mostly static.
On the otherhand fields like computer science, mathmatics and engineering have chnaged immensly. These sorts of programs are preparing you for applied problem solving using (hopefully) industry leading technology. In order to use these tools you still must know the basics and be able to validate your answers with simple hand calculations. So those courses are delivered in a more traditional format. But once new tools are introduced to leverage that foundational knowledge the learning is nowhere near similar to what it was even 10 years ago!
- lbr 13y agoYou're right. I should also say that I go to a liberal arts college. And you're right - Comp sci classes (and hard skill studies) are more modern. But even so, in my CS 101 class, I read from two textbooks every night. And a third of each class was spent on powerpoint. Slightly ironic.
- bcohen5055 13y agoCS 101 is one of those foundational classes, learn the basics using nothing fancy or flashy and you will come away with an understanding thats much deeper and more helpfull when working on projects in 300 and 400 level classes with the latest tools
