Learning how to actually write code was something you were pretty much expected to pick up by yourself - most of the CS classes had requirements to do a personal project which was a large part of the marks for that class. Absolutely no way could any graduate from that course without having produced multiple applications in everything from assembler (6502 and 68000) through to Pascal on a mainframe (yuck) and C and Prolog on Unix minis and graphics programming in C on Atari STs - which was great fun.

I loved it - although I did make a bit of a mess of my first year, but you just had to get through that - no impact on my final degree.

Edit: I should explain - Scotland so first degrees are 4 years rather than the 3 years of the rest of the UK.
