"I worry that students may take computer science just to avoid the more difficult math and science courses they need for college. Computer science could be a way for students to circumvent graduation requirements while adults look the other way."
- smt88 7y agoThis has been a problem in STEM curricula for a long time. At my US university, astronomy (a lecture with 300 seats) counted as a "lab science" credit. Geology was similar -- memorize lecture notes and regurgitate on tests. Never set foot in a lab. It's unfortunate that we're now expanding that flawed model.
