One would certainly hope so!
I only did the introductory courses in math,
probably at a ridiculously low lever for some
people in this thread. And true enough, they
were 0% practice, just an exam at the end of
each course. But I always assumed this would
change the higher people got. Perhaps I was
wrong?
Computer courses were never like that, they had
both parts, with the practical parts often being
implementing or doing something with a concept,
data structure or whatever from the theory
part.
Sometimes the practical parts were neatly
packeted but many times you'd spend hours and
days just getting the damn thing to work before
you could start "actual" work.
Looking back y'all, it is amazing young people
could cope with this constant stress and
frustration. Straight French Foreign Legion!
