Problems:

• Problems of communication.

A lot of professors have good methodology but: very busy with projects/job, reading very depends from audience, people are die

  Solution for two problems - open seminars... what else

4apay:
-some students may help professors to digitalize their information.

Copyright and Future

Because i'm very concerned about copyrights, i was very glad to read this arcticle

And now lets be serious for a moment. If we want to create a "public" student e-library how should we deal with copyrights? That hell of a money to buy all the books (of course, Google could afford that).

Gleb: Yeah porno GPL!!! Я же тебе говорю - СИСЬКИ правят миром :)

4apay: Не верю я всяким подобным заявлениям правительства - опять ничего хорошего не выйдет

Inspiration and motivation

One should understand the great value of Motivation and Inspiration in work and study.

So thats the point - we should have the whole bunch of psychologists, who know how to play with motivation. Only this way we'll be able to create an ideal student society.

We should show students the example of successful science application - the best variant is having our own research centers.

Gleb: My comment to it this video

I believe in education it is pretty much the same
