Bad impression of what? <impish grin> Just curious. Want to know.
Maybe we can help fix it.

I have a friend who's being asked to conduct tutorials for, oh,
roughly 30% of the student population. (It's a small school, so it's
not that freaky.) A large portion of that 30% are students who have
taken a lot of units of programming but aren't getting it.

Not everyone takes to programming right away. Some people need it to
be presented in a different manner. Some people need more time to
process it. Some people need more creative exercises and ways of doing
things. <shrug> <grin> We do what we can>

Amen! Unbelievably cool. Amazing.

If there's just one thing you can do to encourage geeks in your
school, it's to help them get together and work on something nifty.
ACENT was that for us - an opportunity to use our skills to serve
others, a way to learn more, a place to hang out and meet other
geeks...

I remember coming across one of his papers - they were floating around
after the whole fiasco - and not being particularly impressed by it.
Ah, well, still... <shrug>
