12 Contradicting Lessons I Wish I Learned In College

February 4, 2009 by Andrew Hyde Posted in CU, Ideas, Projects, Thoughts

For the past two terms I have given a presentation at CU with the punchy title “12 Contradicting Lessons I Wish I Learned In College.”

I tried to record video of the presentation, but it turned out poorly.

Slides are below the fold.  Hopefully there are some good learning bits in there for you.

  • Some pretty sage advice in that slidedeck. Could stand a bit of tightening up for getting to the goodies faster, no? Maybe some color/images... images are nice.

    Particularly liked the one about "If you're not taking notes... your choice." I'll have to steal that sometime for something, maybe some of my own course slidedecks. I'd put it AT THE BEGINNING though :)

    Reminds me of a T-shirt one of my SEO teachers, Andy Jenkins of StomperNet, likes to wear: "When I am speaking you should be taking notes"... yeah, he's a wallflower like that.
  • Avoiding confrontations (good short term plan, horrible long term plan)
    vs.
    Telling people how you really feel (painful short term plan, awesome in the long run)
