I'm intrigued that anyone would teach OOP using a language other than Smalltalk. As well as giving you the bits you need to build objects, it puts them together in a dispatch system and class library, fully thought out and tastefully designed, then gives you the tools to take it apart, study how it works, think about why parts of it are clumsy, and consider the consequences of fixing them. Perhaps graphical workstations were too expensive for universities in 1992?
