Computer science doesn't just mean teach me how to use Microsoft office over and over... MS Access is not useful!!!

My school wants me to redo computer apps (which I took in 9th grade for college credit) so that I can “brush up on Microsoft Access” . I’m so annoyed. I already took a class that used access and had to run it on a vm. I think I’m good.

Is the class you're in also a class for BCIS? Thats the only way I'm seeing you using Microsoft office in a class for anything other than note taking.

@Heartizack I think a lot of antiquated cs programs require this sort of nonsense

@Tawzer
I don't know, dude. My CS program never required me to learn that. My Technical Communication minor, however, did require it.

Yeah I'll be honest this was a class from about 12 years ago called "ITC btec"

All we did was learn how to make shitty ms access databases... 3 years in a row...

Oh then I did a HNC in IT where we spent the first 2 months doing windows 98 installs and learning how to use office...

Then I moved to the HND in computer platforms and networking concepts, where we learned Pascal, that took them a year :-/

We were supposed to learn how to program Cisco kit... But the removable hard drives were not seperate by class, so we ended up installing windows 98 again... Every time... I think I got as far as installing the Cisco toolkit stuff before the end of a lesson once...

We tried to learn visual basic, but the teacher barely understood it herself, and by this point in all honesty I'd lost interest and had got a job.

We spent most of the time ssh'd into remote terminals we had set up at home, messing about, arguing about wether red hat was better than debian.

£9,000 well spent
