Hah! If a 
computer scientist'' can graduate without being able
to write a well-designed, well-coded programs (and many do), what
is the point?  The language of and reason for computer science is
programming -- and computer scientists who can't write good programs
are as useless as English teachers who can't write an proper and
grammatical term paper.
