College algebra? Programming is very difficult to learn in a short period of time if you've never worked in it. Translating other concepts to how they work in the software world requires time and work. From what I've seen intro to programming classes are much harder than they ought to be and fail to translate the math concepts we all already know into the programming world. Writing programs isn't basic computer competency. Using CLI's, more advanced computer competency, but not at the level of writing software. Students struggle to resolve off by 1 errors in array index's vs length. Objects, instances and inheritance aren't even on their radar yet.
