Hornets be darned! While I was a CS (ok Computer Engineering) major at BYU I taught CS classes for the UVSC Computer Science & Information Systems department for two years (as an adjunct professor.) So, if BYU ECEn students are teaching UVSC CS classes, what does that tell you? The biggest beef UVSC'ers have about BYU is that they believe the BYU CS department is "too theoretical" and does not teach practical knowledge. Maybe so, but without theoretical underpinnings, future learning is a tad difficult, eh? Go cougars!
