Blog: Computer Science, Without Computers

In all three of my Computer Science courses last year, we did not use a computer (unless it was our own laptop) in either the lectures or the discussions. That to me is a lousy way to learn. The best way to learn programming is to actually program.

Anyway, this year our discussion class is called a "lab," and the professor said that we would be programming in there. Imagine my disappointment when I walked into the room and found it to be a regular classroom, with no computers! Maybe we'll be using the real lab later... we'd better!
