this makes no sense. english majors aren't majoring in how to speak english, they are honing their reading analysis and craft of writing. cs students aren't majoring in how to write computer code, they are learning how to apply their mathematical skills cultivated throughout school.
- endtime 15y agoThat's almost exactly my point. Being an English major isn't about literacy, but literacy is a prerequisite. Being a CS major isn't about programming, but programming is a prerequisite. Literacy is taught from a young age; programming isn't.
