Perhaps things have changed since I was in school about 15 years ago but I always called it "academics teaching you their warped view of what life as an industry programmer is like". I quickly learned that nothing which was covered in those classes were things I did in my jobs once I graduated.



Be fair. Some of it is just learning what code is, and how to think about it. They provide some practice with various dogmas. The idea is, once you are working you'll learn more/different ones and have some facility doing so.

"Nothing I learned as a toddler is anything I do now that I'm an adult"
