Apparently things have changed since 2007... Or else my Ivy league CS professors didn't know what the hell they were talking about. As I grow older and more cynical, the difference between those options continues to narrow...
- TheCoelacanth 10y agoI wouldn't be surprised at all if Ivy league CS professors didn't have in depth programming knowledge. They are Computer Science professors after all, not programming professors.
- douche 10y agoIf you're teaching a course in X using Y, I don't think it's out of line to expect someone to be proficient in both X and Y. That's kind of their job.
- bubblesocks 10y agoI recently finished a Linux course at school, part of which was focused on Vim. I got points taken away for using gg to jump to the top of a document and G to jump to the bottom. My professor said neither option would work. While I think it is reasonable to expect professors to know what they're talking about, it is fairly common that they don't.
