The document discusses prototyping an idea to help students map their classroom learning to the real world. The idea is for students to start jobs before taking courses, and take courses related to their current work projects and goals. Feedback notes what worked well with the idea, like gaining practical and financial experience, but also identifies areas for improvement like ensuring students have sufficient foundational knowledge.
