Was swapping Scheme for Python a good thing though? Scheme is a very good way to understand the concepts of CS in a more fundamental way. Python can be learned independently anyway through SICP.
- qwhelan 6y agoIIRC, CS1 was a mandatory class for other majors (like MechE) and a course in Scheme was basically hazing from their perspective. I forget if Scheme was moved to a later course or made optional.
