>>14420538>Honestly half the exams are watered down versions of problems we were actually paid to solve in industry.That was the case for my previous studies abroad. In these studies here in Germany it's an unholy mixture of things I already know technically - but then it is alienated to the point where it becomes difficult to solve. They are also somewhat watered down problems of industry, but not quite.
Which is why I digitized all the previous exams I have acquired access to, am re-structuring all formulae that the professor had in his shitty ppt into a single office document, and will do the previous exams as practice exams. When I am convinced my solution to these exams is correct, I will compile document that explains how to approach these problems.
And then I will share it with my fellow students. Why? What benefit does that have, doing the work the professor should have done? Am I not shooting myself in the foot, if there is a grading curve? Yes. But if I don't, what will happen? Nothing. Students are going to fail the course not because they are retards, but because the edgelord boomer of a prof won't give any practice problems. So I must become the change I wish to see, even if it means harming my own chances in the process.
>>14421211What you people fail to realize, you who jack off to the status quo, is that this is not the result of university education. In Germany we have a cultural thing about improvement. We want to improve everything (at least in industry) while maintaining or improving safety standards. When there is a man who sees a process and thinks to himself "this could be done better" he will do so, even against adversity. And believe me, there is lots of adversity in these cases, unless you are on good terms with e.g. the plant manager and explain your process to him & he sees the value of your solution.
