    teaching you to perform a task is for tech school. university higher education is about conveying understanding of theory.

    my degrees are in computer science and math, and i can design a circuit board and worked for a chip manufacturer... very odd that an electrical engineer wouldn't be able to.

    yeah... i can understand that most of the students and their parents treat acceptance the same as graduation... the rest is a formality. not something to be proud of ivy league.

    no one LIKES to be tested in clutch performance situations... but having to get something done RIGHT NOW is something that happens on the job all the time. if you are unable to focus on necessity, you're basically worthless.

    or laziness to the (n+1)th degree--that they don't want to spend time grading a pile of tests that take 3 hours to fill out each.

    i've said many times: college is a filter, not a press... and it seems these colleges are removing more and more of the filters.

    so why is the headline describing the size of the multiplexed grid and not the individual specs per pixel? it would seem that would be the relevant information.

    so a college degree is not meant to demonstrate you are qualified to practice a certain profession... good to know that. so many people must be as confused as i was. were you the one that explained it to the harvard administration?

    1. you obviously spread yourself too thin.

    2. you didn't land yourself any jobs, don't blame your degree. especially one suited for graduate studies in a specialized field.

    i did a dual degree program too... i graduated a semester early... i had 3 final exams on 1 day more than once... i had over 3.5 GPA. it was never a problem.

    if a student can't show up for a test a be expected to pass without cramming, there is either something wrong with the test or the student.

    i'd hope canon wouldn't brag about a 8"x8" sensor if it wasn't already as dense as existing sensors.

    adding more data and decreasing latency almost surely implies some sort of multiplexing is going on, and that the "sensor" is really a grid of smaller sensors packaged together.

    what's wrong with drive through degrees

    nothing... as long as you never want to give any extra credit to degrees based on testing / board certification.

    ah yes... i remember students who had the "take-home" math classes... i wonder why they were always giving me things after i solved the fun puzzles they would bring me.

    being able to solve a problem doesn't prove to a potential employer that you understand how to solve a problem right, and what makes that solution more right than any other solution. not spoon feeding students until they understand theory is probably contributing to the large number of idiots i have to deal with.

    most of my classes involved projects... almost all still had final exams involving theory... at the moment i can't recall any class i took that didn't require a final.

    grading students on how much they get done, and never testing them on knowing why they did the things they got done in the way they did, or better yet how they should have got them done, is not higher education. it's tech school.

    a lot of the perceived quality in the hasselblad digital backs is in the operating system that lays on top of the sensor, and the hardware user interface and the lens interface... more data is going to mean higher latency and response times...
