It seems to me that with a definite shortage of CS profs and with an increasing number of high-schools and private citizens purchasing their own home computers and learning programming techniques that those in the uper echons of students write the final within the first two weeks of the course.

This serves to free computer science profs so as they can spend time with those little darlings who need the help and it aids the student in so much as he/she/it does not have to hand in a dull assignment every week.

For what it is worth I did seriously consider going to the University of Windsor just because I could avoid the 'first year FORTRAN blues', but they have not got any great time sharing sys- tem (at least none that I know of) so I came to this place.
