I see a lot of people complain about uni degrees and stuff because they don't learn how to code etc. Is this really the standard?

I mean I'm only in fourth semester bachelor and had coding knowledge before starting uni. But we had basic to intermediate java in the first two semester, now learning how to write secure code and OS-Level stuff in C++, we had a module with practical Assembly coding all while still learning all the theory.

At the end of the first semester we had to write a terminal game in Java. I mean of course that's not "real experience" but if you dive in you definitely learn the basics you need to get started in real life.

Or am I wrong completely / just in a weird uni?

    I think your uni is good but typical (at least in the US) and most ranting students are just being primadonnas about it. They enroll in uni expecting a very specific outcome and are upset when they don't get exactly that.

    That's just my two cents, though.

    I'm currently studying in Denmark and it's the best learning experience I've had so far. I'm only 2 semesters in, but it's really great.

    sounds great! problem is, most recent graduates can't code in reality. being a good coder means looking at code you wrote in the past and going "who created the crap???". the same applies here. in addition, most students forget everthing the minute the course grade comes in...

    @magicMirror Well, but then that's their own misery tbh, given they had proper education. Not to blame on the education then. ^^

    @valentindiehl that is true, but from personal experience, most uni's don't teach how learn by yourself, or motivate you to do so...

    @magicMirror unis are supposed to teach critical thinking, which I think they generally do, and that's what you need to self-teach.

    It is absolutely not anyone else's job to motivate you. That is on you. In no way do your professors owe you motivational speeches, counseling, etc. They may choose to share something some time, but you are, in no way, entitled to those things. You're already paying through the nose, what better motivation do you need? :p
