The choice of shell isn't the worst part (although, seriously... tcsh? holy crap!). Read the assignment itself. A system to manage and analyze a list of delay tickets for public transportation. Good idea for perl (which is explicitly forbidden IIRC, as are sed and awk)? Certainly. But for tcsh? Afterwards (in Matam and in Data Structures, for example), people don't even consider writing a tiny test suite for their applications, even though it's under 10 lines of tcsh and they're given expected input-output pairs as part of the assignment.
