   | Polytechnic Approach Hi everyone! Gosh, I hope the question I’m about to ask doesn’t butcher me, but can anyone tell me his or her Pomona experience so far and how the “learn by doing” philosophy has paid for him or her? Thanks! |

| We had an entire discussion on this before: http://www.calpolyonline.com/forums/...ead.php?t=2044 I'll just put this bluntly: Many other schools teach students only to think (and most of the time, very little actual doing). That may work for liberal arts/humanities majors, but for the most part, is depriving students of real-world experiences. If all you do is bookreading, you may end up like some electrical engineering grads who don't know what a transistor looks like or don't know about the electricity that comes out of a wall socket. |
