One of the things that everyone learns in university (but usually does not notice to have learned it as it is never listed in any syllabus) is a set of skills and procedural knowledge that is specific to university setting, e.g. how to deal with problems using university resources, how to use them, how to submit forms that are university specific, how to deal with a university administration, how to submit your homework, how to deal with deadlines and so on. Naturally, this procedural knowledge is somewhat less useful (although not useless) outside the university. At the same time, the way "the outside world" works is not diametrically opposite to the way the university works (although it is different), therefore maybe there is a room for some small changes that would be helpful for students that leave academia after they graduate? Suppose a university decides that it would be useful for their students to obtain more procedural knowledge that would be useful in the private (or public) sector. How could they achieve this goal without compromising the things that are good about university life? One obvious answer is to outsource this problem by encouraging students to find internships, but maybe there are more ways to do it?
I was looking at a discussion of what should be in a college curriculum, and as such discussions seem to go, there was a big list of things everyone should study, and some political claims about what's being offered but shouldn't be.
Instead, what do you wish you'd studied in college? What do you wish other people had studied in college? On the latter, do you think everyone should have studied it, or do you just wish more people knew about it? Approximately what percentage of people?
Of course, this doesn't have to be limited to college. People could learn the same things earlier or later.
