Hi Eon: When students achieve these, they are definitely better off. For me, the ability to give what I have learned, mistakes made, situations likely to be encountered, along with the traditional theory and skills training that accompany all courses, I have met my goal. With that foundation, students should be prepared to be successful in their chosen work profession. Hopefully, they'll take that information and edxperience, and do more with it. That's called progress, and we need good students who afre thinkers who can use their creativity to produce the next great thing! Regards, Barry
