Does everyone get tested this way in computer science class?
It seems that a lot of high school computer science classes still use visual basic 6 for learning to program. At my school, our tests have these things called "output questions" where you have to follow the code and write down the output. The only problem with these is that my teacher will create really dumb variable names like "haha", "hehe", or even more confusing ones like "heha" and hahe." All the functions and procedures will be named the same way, and it gets really confusing when loops are thrown in. I find it to be a really stupid and pointless method of testing because all that it tests is my ability to follow incoherent code. I can create better and more complex programs than the majority of my class, but when it comes to the tests, I end up getting in the low 70s or mid 60s. I don't know if I should complain to the teacher about it, because if I can program, why should I need to know how to do this? Ya so anyway, is anyone else tested this way?
