That was something that surprised me as well - but then again, when I 
took my Assembly class, I had programmed in something like 15 different 
languages - more than anyone else in the class - and had been programming 
(even was paid to write code) since I was about 10.

So many CS students need that level of teaching, because they have 
(perhaps) math aptitude, but not (a lot of) hands-on experience writing 
code.
