Different contexts, but that reminds me of a sort of "second class, taken after introductory programming" survey class of the CS domain, taught by another rather intense professor. I learned more in those 12 or so weeks than in most other classes. It was intense, but left one with a rather good, basic survey -- which is no mean feat, given the breadth of the domain (from boolean logic and gates up through higher level languages, discreet mathematics, statistics and O notation, etc.) People who thought they were getting a typical "survey" class -- LOL! This professor wasn't having any of it. Perhaps a bit unfair, if you were trying to balance an overall course load that was already heavy. But of itself, worth it.
