I've got a bone to pick with that class. Every single student who takes it comes out hating programming, and I think that's utter bullshit. At the same time, they're incredibly proud of the boat they've coded in Matlab, and that tells you something crucial about the students at Tech - they love building shit. They love that feeling of accomplishment when they've put hard work into something and it's worked out. So, in other words, they love programming, they just don't know it yet. The intro class for CS absolutely needs to be something that gets students to build. That alone would go a long way in changing the culture at Tech.
