Not that one class alone. But it may very well be that students use predominantly Java throughout their degree, starting with this course. I got my bachelors in India so we started with C++ and learned Java for just one course in year 3. But when I came to the US for my Masters everyone who went to undergrad in the US only used Java for class projects. So it may be that for students who graduated in the last ~10 years in the US, Java is their strongest language. I didn't ask anyone about their language choices at the time so I don't know this for sure; others are welcome to chime in.
