Comment Our culture doesnâ(TM)t know how to deal with (Score 5, Interesting) 94

How about dealing with the problem at its source instead of pumping people full of drugs? We should be teaching people how to be mindful of and manage stress from a young age, but you wonâ(TM)t find breathing exercises or calming meditations in our school curriculum, because people are afraid it will turn all the kids into pseudo-Buddhist hippies.

Comment Chalkboard vs breadboard (Score 1) 96

EE major. Wouldâ(TM)ve benefited from more practical examples and exercises to provide perspective to the theoretical concepts. Without that it was very dull sometimes. Sure we had instructional âoelabsâ building circuits by hand, but there wasnâ(TM)t much perspective on practical applications, i.e. what type of real world system uses the circuit. Our time in lab wouldâ(TM)ve been better spent learning how to select components and lay out PCBs rather than arranging wires on s breadboard every week. Maybe spend the semester designing a system instead of random hodge podge. They didnâ(TM)t even teach us how to solder. Senior design projects couldâ(TM)ve been much cooler if we had been taught more practical design skills.
