I tried. It seems nobody is setup to consider the idea that one come come to the table with deep and wide CS knowledge. The right approach would be one where the person is evaluated through one or more tests and given the opportunity to start the journey at the appropriate level. I simply cannot understand the idea that someone at a university would think it is fair to force someone to undergo over a year of what amounts to torture before actually reaching courses where that person might start to learn. Something is very seriously wrong with an educational system that is so rigidly attached to a menu you must consume in a specified sequence without regards for what the person might know before starting.
