    Bit late to the thread, but I got my drivers license last week! Only four errors which is a lot lower than I thought I would get.

        Thanks, it's really nice to finally get this out of the way. I've been putting it off for way too long, to be honest.

    I'm correcting coding assignments for a "principles of programming" course.

    One of the students submitted her C code in .txt files.
    She also was copying and pasting the code into an online compiler during her demo.
    One of the fully written C code files was erroring out on an include statement, even though the rest of the logic has been fully written.
    One of the questions including implementing the cdr function. I asked her to scroll to it, she couldn't figure out which assignment question I was referring to, or explain the logic to me.
    One question required printing a linked list in the following format: (a(b,c),d,e)
    Her program printed it out in the much more elaborate way:

    a -> b -> d -> e
        |
        c
    

    And yet she still couldn't explain to me how cdr works.
    Methinks there's a case of very bad cheating.

    Today was the start of my Japanese class. After reading the syllabus I am both relieved and disappointed at how elementary the class will be. Relieved because scheduling errors mean that I will be taking this class during a vacation. Disappointed because I was honestly hoping for a bit more. This is a remote class and I am almost certain you shouldn’t do language classes like this.
