Before keyboards everyone taking CPS at my university (1978) were taught to write out code in yellow lined paper. We handed in our code to the (female) adjunct for review. Run time was expensive. Then we made our deck of run cards. I used this "write it out by hand first " method during my entire tech career. For me, writing it out was a really good way to learn (next to actually teaching others)
