 I'm convinced that this coherence penalty also applies within conversations between teachers and students. A teacher creates a virtual model in his mind of different courses that are tied together and nicely intertwined. Students also create virtual models in their minds but it's much more fragmented: courses are mostly seen as separate obstacles to overcome without any clear context.

+#### A. Create a software engineering philosophy. Teach all courses in context of this shared understanding.
 
 This is the single most important missing piece of the puzzle. The shared mental model of what there is to be taught and in what context (why?). That philosophy should contain the core principles: **make concepts visible** and put everything into perspective! Purposes should be clear for students. After all, we're trying to spark a curiosity, an interest in engineering. Simply grading them course by course won't help there. 
 
 Openness in academia is an interesting topic by itself. Prof. Philip Dutré talks about [transparency in education evaluation](http://phildutre.blogspot.com/2015/04/docenten-maak-je-onderwijsevaluaties.html) in his blog (in Dutch) and is worth reading. The way you grade is very important to students: they (mostly) learn what will be graded, not necessarily what you think they might find interesting. Grading should be open for everyone and again, in context of the global engineering philosophy.

+#### B. Introduce long-term projects across courses. Let students branch and redesign continually and vigorously.
 
 Start in the first Bachelor year with a project that will be refactored and redesigned up to the Master years. It should be something crystal clear that can bear becoming gradually more complex. Let students fail by sudden difficulty spikes. This is the only way they'll get a taste of the malleability of bigger projects. <br/>
 Later boarding students could start with reference projects on different levels. 
 
 Cross-course material only benefits the shared philosophy: A and B go hand in hand.

 I would even opt for this one to use possibility (1.) and replace something useless like "business management" with a completely new course that focuses exclusively on this. The earlier in the programme track it's given, the better. Again, this should seamlessly integrate with other courses while making context explicit. 
 
 What the exact contents of this course would be seems like an entire new article to me.

 This has proven to be a refreshing exercise. We've only talked about high-level principles without worrying about the implementation (the _how_). Also, the concrete elaboration of my personal software engineering philosophy is something that will grow incrementally over the coming years, with the needed feedback from both the industry and the education institutions.

 Een hoop middelmatige boeken later las ik Flow van Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (ik heb de naam moeten kopiëren) en Lessen in Levenskunst van Wilfried van Craen. De vorige boeken refereerden al vaak naar Flow en het boek zelf vond ik niet zo geweldig, maar ik probeer het concept wel een belangrijke rol te laten spelen in mijn leven. Wilfried's gelatenheid en gezapige verhalen waren de ideale compaignon op een _"nadenk vakantie"_. Edward Slingerhand introduceerde me in de wereld van Lao Tzu en Confucius met Trying not to try, iets wat smaakte naar meer.

 This wasn't Poincaré's first flash of insight. In true scientific fashion, he was determined to uncover a pattern. The famous mathematician showed great interest in scientific creativity and formed his own theory on the creative state of mind, concluding that the act of creation involves a period of conscious work followed by a period of unconscious work. After that, more conscious work is required, as what the unconscious mind produces isn't a complete argument but rather a hint towards the right direction. Some of those hints might seem elegant and alluring but fall flat during thorough analysis.
