It was definitely a waste of my student time. I had to take the class on my second year and spent a semester learning UML because the professor was all into it. We've just heard about OOP at that time, the biggest achievement was being good at Delphi, most of the class had trouble writing a hello world in any language. The problem was also that the prof was always modelling some accounting/business "problems" which we also had no idea/experience about. So it was about learning couple of things all at once with very fragmented information. It was a disaster of class, and turned me off out of both UML and OOP. The latter I'm still sour about.
