Finished the first semester tonight. So far, I'm underwhelmed.
Is it just me or is this course mostly fluff? I mean, most of the techniques and technologies you "need" to know are old and nobody uses them in the real world.
Imagine a soldier in the year 2165 where laser rilfes and handheld nukes are the standard weapons having to know how to load a musket.
I had to fill out a course evaluation for Microsoft tonight and they asked how much of this semester's material I use in my job. 10% was my answer. (This semester was managing and maintaining a Windows environment.)
I also advised them that when they redo the classes (coming soon from what I hear...the MCSE will soon be a thing of the past), that they need to focus on best practices and most commonly used tools and procedures, not "everything, including the kitchen sink."
