There is something that I have noticed about students studying for Computer Science tests, especially at the high school level - it seems that many study to pass the test, but not to understand the concepts involved. It’s a ridiculous scene - watching students pace down the hallway before an exam, reciting bubble sort (and if they make it to University, linked list patterns) as poetry. And while I would also argue that computer programming has certain poetic features to it, such static regurgitation of a memorized fact serves little practical value.
