I agree that student should be taught 50/50 in practical and informational course because as Dr.Simon and other stated, people who are fresh out of school go to jobs and are dumbfounded by what they are being ask to do. They have no experience because majority of school just give background information, which is good, but in order to work in any real world jobs you need the hands on experience to be prepared for them. Students need a balance between practical and informational because you cannot just be doing what other ask you, you need to know the science behind it. People should understand why they are doing the things they are doing because everything has a reason. By having a balance between practical and informational course student would be better prepared for their future jobs.
