So, I had a test today about european legislation, namely "Europäisches Wirtschaftsrecht/European economic law". Since a long time I learned for a test more than 24 hours (what up to now usually was enough) since this is a 'Diplomprüfung' meaning one of those last huge tests you have to take before you get your diploma. I learned for a week exactly and after the test really didn't know why! All the knowledge I could use today, I could have learnt easily in two days. Well, if I would have been to the lectures, I would perhaps have known the special cases, that were asked. But didn't I write two e-mails to the guy having the lecture, asking what has changed from the last to this semester? Didn't I take three unconcerned, disregardingly insulting answers before giving up? Didn't I search the unbelievably bad web site of the university to get the newest information?

People who know me know, that I don't care much about the current educational system - and that's not locally restricted to germany - that's meant globally. Have a look at the congenial book The hacker ethics by Pekka Himanen, a finish philosoph walking in the footsteps of Max Weber. Pekka knows the answer to the question for the educational system of the future(well, actually the present)..
