I am just giving credit where it's due.<BR/><BR/>As far as the curriculum goes, I haven't been silent. Last semester in Chip Woods' class we all had to write/make suggestions about how to improve ATEC and raise it's visibility. Believe me I had plenty to say.<BR/><BR/>The only point I was trying to make without Rajesh Nidwannayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00163334856163482520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28612125.post-1150252219649018742006-06-13T21:30:00.000-05:002006-06-13T21:30:00.000-05:00Uhmm, this discussion seems to be taking a turn to...Uhmm, this discussion seems to be taking a turn toward, "Stop complaining and do something!" Wouldn't it be better to discuss what we CAN do to raise the profile of our program (which seems to be something we all want) -- like a web showcase? Or some other ideas? <BR/><BR/>Actually I _am_ involved in a project which I hope might help improve the cirriculum.

They teach the basics as well as the advanced skills. <BR/><BR/>We can aspire to be better but we can't ignore the market, since UTDs students are competing against the students graduating from the Art Institiute and CCCCD.<BR/><Rajesh Nidwannayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00163334856163482520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28612125.post-1150229977685980802006-06-13T15:19:00.000-05:002006-06-13T15:19:00.000-05:00I want a presence in Dallas!

I would like the kind of commentary that refers to UTD as the real source of talent in the Dallas area (in a league with Cal Arts and NYU), and mentions that locally we also have CCCC and the Art Institute of Dallas -- for beginners!<BR/><BR/>But to address the crucial point... a website showcasing studentFreyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05768385156034524486noreply@blogger.com
