1991 all over again
It's like I'm back in 1991 when I was revamping the DLSU Manufacturing Engineering curriculum. We were designing syllabuses (syllabi? syllabeese? syllabusen?) left and right trying to fit all the topics we needed into the class times allotted. It's quite a challenge trying to squeeze our 240-hour Java course into two trimestral terms with a total of 72 class hours (accounting for slack, finals, holidays, and possible lost days) evenly split between a lecture and a laboratory. I'm taking advantage of the fact that unlike our course which runs 5 days a week, the college students using the syllabus have space between classes to read, review, consult, and imbibe. But even then, oooh this thing is going to be a screamer. ... almost there...
