Just graduated from USC (go Trojans! Where was knee-deep in film reels and screenplay drafts. Now, I'm dipping my toes into the forum world to discuss California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo. I've heard they have crazy cool "Learn-by-Doing" approach to education. Anyway, Think about it: actually building bridge for an engineering class or pitching business plans to real venture capitalists in your business courses. Sounds intense but rewarding, right?
So, let's talk pros and cons here. On the upside, you get hands-on experiences that look awesome on resume. But on the flip side, isn't it challenging to manage such practical work with all the other coursework? And what happens if you're more of theory-oriented person? Feels like this approach might leave some students out in the cold. Switching gears slightly. Any current Cal Poly SLO students here who can share their experiences? Has this learning style been effective for you or did it add more stress than necessary? Also, quick shoutout to those starting at Pepperdine Uni (the views are spectacular, trust me). Remember to explore, make connections and don't forget to enjoy Malibu!
