- mynameisvlad 12y agoApplying the knowledge taught in the course is different from applying knowledge of something tangentially related to something taught in the course to a completely different problem, which is what seems to have happened here.
- Goronmon 12y agoIsn't the argument of the students in the article effectively that they were expected to apply knowledge they weren't taught to solve a new problem?
- bentcorner 12y agoAnd that's certainly an important skill to have. But it doesn't appear to have been taught in the class. This is like sitting in a driver's ed. classroom for a few weeks, and then putting you in your car for the actual test with no practice in the middle.
