I suspect (but cannot prove) that this problem is why computer science grads need a couple of years of close supervision There's more to it than that, a lot of which has more to do with learning how companies are structured and how people communicate in the corporate world. Among other things, college students have been trained to tackle any assignment with the assumption that the information they have been given is accurate and comprehensive, and the professor would prefer to hear nothing from them until the assignment is turned in as complete as possible right before the deadline. If you want to educate people to be immediately productive in a corporate environment, that's not what college is for anyway.
