A College Guide to EA

Posted by Zonk on from the profs-can-teach-you-almost-anything dept.

DesiVideoGamer writes "With all the recent news about EA, one of the professors at Carnegie Mellon University is giving a talk about EA after he visited the company for a semester. He also published a white paper about EA and what college grads should know about it. (pdf format) The paper talks a lot about the culture at EA and could indirectly explain the previous stories covered by Slashdot."

  1. The article summary could use work by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Funny

    As a typical slashdot poster, I'm not supposed to have to even read the primary link before I spout off in the comments section. The submitter does the readin', I do the commentin'. That's tradition. Ergo I find it very disturbing when I can't even fathom what the summary's about without following secondary links. That's just unacceptable, pardner.

    Well, I go to Carnegie Mellon, and from what I have seen, this is not a class, but a lacture, which, from a student's standpoint, probably means that there will be free food in Baker Hall soon ... perhaps I will drop by and see what they have to say.
