The problems with Java
There are a lot. There are more problems with Java Schools .... and, actually, Joel does a great job explaining what they are.We've noticed over the past few years this same phenomenon. Everyone drops out of CS and heads over to MIS. And suddenly, CS gets no more government funding (oops! -- the hidden side of the game), and MIS gets a lot of funding. The CS professors scramble for their jobs, dumb down the curriculum, get students back into the program, passing classes, and the funding comes back.
Solution? Keep the students flying through the easy classes, leave the "hard" classes for graduates (but that usually doesn't happen either), and everyone keeps their jobs. All the students graduate (even the ones who shouldn't have a degree), and we all feel good about ourselves.
Oh ... wait. Isn't that what we did with public schools too?
