I could've used more theory in my CS major, but in fitting with the article, I've learned much more outside of class than inside. My profs have been very helpful, and have absolutely aided in this, but few classes have provided me with anything I didn't pick up in 1/10th of the time prior to the class. Though that's likely true for anyone who's very interested in their field.

In defense of the course, we have programming from the very beginning. I'd assume everyone who had gone through even a couple classes could solve FizzBuzz quickly - a fair number of the recent applicants where I work couldn't, despite nearly all of them carrying degrees (I graduate soon).
