   My motivation for this semester was based on the wrong assumption that the complexity of the optional subjects I chose exceeded a beginners tutorial on the Internet. And it gets even better. Instead of using the language “R” with open source tooling for our Statistics course, the new professor introduced a new commercial software which only runs on Windows and MacOS. He called it “Excel on cocaine”.
   Thanks for nothing.

     I’m in the 7th semester of my bachelors degree at a university of applied sciences in Germany and I couldn’t be more disappointed by the quality/level of the lectures. Antiquated teaching approaches and memorising slides for passing exams wasn’t what I expected. I’ve really had enough of it and I’m just angry because it feels like I could have learnt much more by getting a job after finishing my apprenticeship as a programmer 4 years ago.
