>If one wants the 'teaching' part comes from a server then MCP. If one wants it local and static then skills

Not being facetious, but why not:

"If one wants the 'teaching' part comes from a server then OpenAPI specs. If one wants it local and static then man page."

Not always [1]

Having gone to university in Germany, there are glimpses of this ideal, but they're mostly faint memories enshrined on faded plaques around the campus. I did have an old geezer prof (90+ years old) that went to the very same university over half a century ago and showed us his diploma: greek, latin, humanities, ... for a technical diploma, no less!

I do still cringe a little when we get newjoiners fresh out of university proudly proclaiming "Yeah, no can do, we didn't learn that at university". Yes, obviously, university is not an apprenticeship. You learn how to learn and then apply that to unknown-to-you problems. Oddly enough ChatGPT seems to have brought a change to that mindset, but Im not sure if it did so for the better.

Re: oral exams in Germany

Not sure when this was supposed to be the case, but for actual universities (not meant in a deragotary way, Germany has two types of higher eduction) in hard sciences, most classes are graded on a single written exam. Both in undergrad/bachelors and masters.

Unless things have drastically changed in the last five years...

I have the same opinion on LoTR, but at the same time I found that Dune's prose is little better than fanfic (if that...)

Every now and then I go for a reread, hit a passage talking about a magic sword and the book trying to rawdog convince me that this sword (dagger?) is super cool and awesome by... well outright saying '"this sword is super cool and awesome" (trust me, I'm the narrator) '
