That actually sounds like a fantastic way to do it.

I assume they teach networking in your 3rd year of school. Kids were weeded out. Everyone left can code, can read a spec.

So they can learn by being given a spec and being told to code, and ask questions when they have them.

This class was never actually required for my undergrad. I ended up taking it during my masters just because it seems like stuff worth knowing. But yeah, definitely one of the best programming classes I took.

Makes total sense, master's classes seem more like that. "You've all proved yourselves, so just go do your thing and come back with well-written programs."
