For my graduate level people(aka Masters degree students or holders)

How normal would you say that: giving dense ass lectures in NN with absolutely NO practical examples and just a fuckload of theory + 1 simulation project in Pytorch in which a robot is to detect collisions is?

is it normal? i mean I knew about Pytorch from a very shallow overview, but these assholes gave that project and expected it completed in a week with a fuckload of dense ass lectures and no practical exmaples.

I know school is supposed to be hard, that is not my gripe, but in yalls experience are teachers more descriptive and fun in other institutions? do I just have shit luck with teachers? I don't feel like wasting my money. If your experience was better then let me know, cuz I want education yes, but i want it better.

    Brings back memories of the professor who wanted us to implement a working chat program in C++ in one day, with next to nobody having used C++ before, only Java.

    it seemed strange tonme, i started the project and it then hit me "these fuckees never showed how to work with this"

    "here have some theory, now build this" and i did not like thr feeling of being set for failure

    If you are at a lecture about NN then you already know how to code and get comfortable with other libraries. The code is nothing special given that your data is already processed. Personally it would annoy me if they wasted time to show me stuff that I can easily figure out myself.

    @Khepu and I would agree if it weren't that I would then expect to be given more time. Say what you want but one week to learn how to use Pytorch to the extent of this is not enough. And no, the data was not prepared for us, we actually had to run lengthy simulations to get what we required. Personally I would prefer to not gauge the level of knowledge or competitive edge of an entire class of 80+ students over those of us that knew more already.
