Practical or class room education ?????

[Swarup Datta]

A judicious mix of both. Practical education is and always be a supplement to the theoritical knowledge and in no way can substitute the theoritical training. In short, Practical training facilitates the better understanding of the concepts learned in theoritical training.

Practical Education makes sense for working professionals, I am doing an MBA from LIBA, Chennai, and have been working for the past 10 years. Understanding concepts is much easier with the work experience, but even here, we do take a lot from the classroom sessions we have. A mix of both would be ideal.

More than anything i think we have to get out of the writing exams mode, embrace technology and come up with a better solution to handwritten exams. Because I believe the way we study will change with the way we would do our exams.

It should be a mixture of both ,
Theory First and then comes the Application.
Theory is little , but applications are vast.
Hence its possible to study theory in class and applications in real life.

Hey...I totally agree to this..deres never an option between white nd black...life lives in the grey areas....practicality has its own importance..but to understand fundamentals, theoritical knowledge is imperative...

i think there should be a mixture of both tooooooooo ...itshould start wid a classroom session followed by a practical session ,showing how to implement the things u leant in classroom practically & develop a learning derived from mistakes.

class room lec are very boring but then the are imp and crucial so that they can b applied in practical life

one should always with full knowledge on practical feild which he has learned in class room

Certain topics must be first covered under theory to know about the fundamentals. Then, students must be exposed to case studies and practical problems in industries. Yes, there has to be a system in which credits are given to both theory and practicals
