I took a "sample class" at a college before, figured I would try to program. The course, with actual students participating mind you, students that paid, didn't have computers. They were told to code on paper and hand it in. What.

@Magnolia21 That’s a common technique when teaching software engineering. Getting them to use their brain and think through the logic, and not be distracted by the computer’s outputs, or try to ask blog websites or (now) ChatGPT for the answers.

@tk9999 I'll take your word, but it seems ass backwards to me. At least with a computer, you can test code, find where the errors exist, and learn from that.
