What worked?
• Practical aspect associated
with theoretical knowledge
• Financially good for the person
and psychologically will gain
confidence
• At work place will gain
knowledge from experienced
employees
• Because of this process,
acquiring skills in a better way
and can perform better
• Exposed to different areas
because of the workplace
• Life doesn’t become a routine
What could be Improved
• Sometimes you need more
knowledge to do a simple task
from different sources?
• Uniformity in testing the
employee as a student?
• Transferable of grades? – I
need to represent the grading
and use of grades better?
• Looks like a continuous and
never ending process – do I
need to represent differently or
knowledge gaining is a
continuous process?
Questions?
• How is the student going to get
non-linear knowledge
procedure? The current
system is linear.
• If the student-employee
doesn’t like in the current job,
what next?
• If the person wants to go to
higher level, what is the
process?
• If the person wants to start
their own company?
Ideas
• Need to represent the
knowledge gained
• A person needs a basic
foundation in theory with a few
courses related to the job
she/he is aspiring for, before
joining

I was wondering if I would ever apply cs203 in real life…
Hey, I graduated 3 years ago. Last week in my project I was
applying what I learnt in my cs203. While I was a student I had
the same doubt.
Hi Professor, I recently realized that students need little bit
more on practical knowledge in CS203. Can you add some
real life examples into it …
I am happy to hear you were able to apply theory I taught in
CS203.
