University stories: Computer Science labs

My computer science 111 class is divided into two parts: The lectures and the labs. During the lectures, our teacher just teaches us how to code in C and talks to us about how computers work. During the labs, we have short assignments to complete and submit, which test our knowledge.

But man, the lab sessions are just pathetic. 9/10 guys and/or girls there have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE of what they have to do. Jeez people, if you don't have ANY prior experience with programming you should at least practice a little (or pay attention in class...)

It's just ridiculous when your neighbour turns around and asks you what the printf function does... Or when he is COMPLETELY unable of even using a computer in the most basic sense by turning on the program we use to edit text...

I can't wait till all of these kids drop out after the midterms. Fuck newfags who don't even have the decency to put a minimal effort into learning the material.

My face when I finish the 3 hour lab in 15 minutes and go home

    I figured with today's society that people would be abit more... technologically adept. But I guess they're more savvy with the myspaces and the tweeters and all that.

  2. I bet most of those failures went in wanting to make video games, right?

  4. I'm taking an online college course in C (OOP and VB .NET too) and each week, a new program is to be written based on 2-4 pages of a new concept. Like, a couple pages explaining what a function is with a couple pages of examples. Then, for the lab, we have to create a new program, basically by just changing variable names or whatever. All formal education is a joke!

  5. Ah, it's no fun dealing with idiots, especially computer illiterate ones. Hope those who aren't taking things seriously will drop out soon for your sake :)

  6. That must be frustrating. I know how you feel, dude, trust me.
