- Darmani 8y agoI tend to be leery of any claims like this. It would be nice to be able to pump infinite knowledge into students in one course, but that's not realistic. The implicit claim behind such a statement is: X should be a topic covered in all software engineering courses, and Y is the best explanation of it. And that is a statement quite easy to punch holes in, regardless of how much you like Y. In this case: most intro SE courses need to teach things like good commenting and committing practice. Anything architectural is beyond most undergrads.
