I am constantly surprised that when other CS students in my classes have zero idea how anything beyond the particular language we're learning works. Even in higher skill-level classes that require a fair amount of proficiency with the language if you asked what the length of the pointer they just properly used was all you would get is blank stares.

It's a computer science program, not learn a dozen language's quirks and implementation detail that you use for a single class to understand some concept.
