Most CompSci programmes around the world are utterly bollocks and not worth the time investment from a learning perspective as you'll have to waste time on the tedious and unproductive coursework. So the question really boils down to:

Agreed. I have no idea how to manage 100 people, nor how to utilize 100 people in any effective way. I guess I would be hacking the challenge by holding some clumsy event on the first day or two where we sorted into 5 to 20 different team
