Gaming Education at College (3) - Why Colleges II
LAST: Why College?
Where does education fit? Where does college fit? Hopefully, I’ve established that a college is needed to help develop students who need to get to a higher level that they may not be able to attain themselves. A common byproduct of a college’s quest of this type of development is that students learn at a faster rate. This gets overlooked often. If people sat down and tried to learn algebra by themselves, they might take much longer than a semester under their own pace. As a former Physics major, it would have took me at least 10 years to get through what I accomplished in 4 for my Bachelor’s Degree.
Good schools can find ways to compress and/or speed learning. When it comes to gaming, I believe this tenant is and should be true. Colleges can get people to jobs quicker. However, this is not enough. The modern culture seems to believe that is a college’s only worth. Colleges are more than this. Here are several things that I learned through a good college education:
- How to learn
- Being confident trying new things/ways
- Advanced problem solving
- Ethics
- Broader understanding of material (that only comes from varied classes)
- A desire to truly understand things not just get results
- Advanced technology
- Responsibility and working hard
