Our folks were hung up on theory, theory, theory, which doesn't translate to the real world as anything a person can use at a real library job. That stuff only exists in the classroom for me. We didn't have comps, but DID have to put together this whacked out portfolio that took a hell of a lot of work, with very little pay off. Whatev. I'm glad I went but was frustrated about 75% of the time, and that's unfortunate.
