the most important thing u learn at uni is dealing and living with others.. the next is having a social life, the last is what you went there to study for.
the uni i went to taught us nothing of real world industry environments, timescales or client feedback input.
the main thing they SHOULD of taught us is to (once a student has knowledge of at least the basic design principles) develop your own style, question what is 'right' and 'wrong' and aim to get your work into clients that will value your concepts and style.
the lecturers/teachers should have also had to show their folios to the students - so that you could also take on board their comments on what they thought was good or bad design.
i.e if they were producing shite work, you could tell them where to stick it.
i also agree with brooke and i also agree with the person that said that thing about mastering technology is not a designer.
ideas and adaptable creativity where its at.
ps: i cant spell or punctuate very well... maybe thats something i should have learned. oh well.
