Official Google Blog: Our Googley advice to students: Major in learning

Official Google Blog: Our Googley advice to students: Major in learning

One of my major goals for any class I teach is to awaken an interest in the subject. I want my students to be excited by the ideas they encounter, have a place (in or out of class) to discuss those ideas, and feel comfortable having opinions about the readings, the projects, the outcomes of any course. This goal is, I think, illustrated by this googleblog post, where they say that they essentially are looking for engaged, ambitious students, who have ideas that they are not afraid to express, and the initiative to carry out on those ideas.

Happy reading!
