That was really one of the first questions I got. After 45 mins of theory on testing I'd nearly proclaimed the latter. After that, two hours of self-study. Wait, seriously? It also appears the first language they learn is python.
Small example; a bug to fix in production costs a factor 20 compared to the bug caught in specs. Simply not true; you cannot trace every bug back to specs and some bugs are cheap to fix. Waterfall, with a sidenote of "Agile Scrum". No one does that! We do not always talk to stakeholders and I am not going to refer to a user as an "actor" just to sound smarter.
Keeping my big mouth shut is hard. At one point they were comparing codez, wondering why they acted differently.
I dislike a duck-typing language as an introduction. I dislike they can't step through the code. They should be writing a diff that shows differences between texts, but they doing bingo.
7 guys and 1 girl. She brought her pet, a "Vector". Programmable AI robot, and she used that very Python. It is a pet in training, so it kept running around the desk. I worked for the company that is located next to that school and I know they have a 3D printer. Vector is lacking a lot, but it seemed like the kid and the "robot" had an emotional bond.
There's coffee there with whipped cream on top, a bunch of toys, and all I need do is be present? And not interrupt the teacher when he is wrong. Yeah, the latter is going to be hard, judging by today. A project of a month would cost you three to six times as much if you follow their advice.
It's a good deal, I get a degree for 500 euro's. I just need to keep my big. mouth. shut.
We already know how that will end

Maybe this is the real reason you are in school. To learn this very skill, and I do think it is a skill that must be learned by most people, including myself. Just a thought...

That, and "soft skills".
I did not even see it on the curriculum, and old devs' do not socialize.
But to be frank, they teach theory and in the real world we do things differently. It should be more practical, less ideology, and more up to date.
I will do it, ofcourse, as it is a financial bonus.
..but it's wrong, on many levels. From duck typing to documentation.

"In theory, we do 9 months of research before coding and spend 3 months on coding."
On your first job you meet the manager that expects first results in a month, or you're out. It's not like we spend 75% of our time documenting.
Theory and the real world have never met.

Seems just like any school.
Certainly in my electrical engineering lab class (you know actual hands on) the two actual practicing engineers that were my lab partners (taking it for the same reason as you - more money from the company) showed that early on when they instantly recognized that a electrical component was bad. As to my confusion when I was busily trying to find any info at all that lead them to that conclusion from the class literature they just pointed out that they 'knew' it.
I believe they also pointed out that for a specific type of electrical circuit that absolutely no one would actually build it that way. Supposed to be a functioning amplifier but it was missing necessary components that would keep a practical device from running away with feedback noise.
Certainly part of the reason that to this day I do not equate a 'formal education' as an equivalent to any amount of actual professional programming.

Most of the vacancies require accreditation; so, like any other manager, I need be young to be malleable and old enough to have experience. Oh, and a recent degree.

I've seen those with a degree who get confused by code.
Having a degree would not hurt me and it would be rather cheap. I know it's the wrong motivation, but there's a lot of toys there, and coffee with whipped cream. There's no downside to doing it.
I will be pissing of the next potential employee about having whipped cream in my coffee, and how that's required to prevent bugs

Waterfall simply means one person took the time to figure out what the end product should look like. Pay me now or pay me later (analysis and design). A badly designed system makes changes harder and therefore is more expensive. Sometimes a lot. And bad designs are harder to code in the first place ... witness the saga of the "data grid", which is only one control; consistently misused; wasting countless hours.
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

Is the teacher "wrong" or does he have a different view of things?
Just because I've never seen UML in the real world doesn't mean it's wrong or not useful (or not used, for that matter).
I've seen plenty of waterfall with a side note of scrum.
Waterfall is safe for customers, they know what they're going to get and they know what it's going to cost (approx.).
However, things change, and so scrum is sort of introduced during the project.
It's never fully scrum, but it isn't strictly waterfall anymore either.
In fact, that's how I do some of my projects.
A bug in production could be 20 times more expensive than catching it in the specs, or 100 times more expensive, or it could cost human lives, or it could be very cheap.
Maybe 20 is an average that we don't know about, but that someone calculated?
You can bitch about Python all you want, but it's one of the most used languages world wide, so it must be doing something right.
You focus on how it's not C#, or whatever language you code in, and therefore it must be bad (as we all do), but try to learn from it instead.
How and why is it different from your regular language?
Does it do things better or faster or easier?
I really hate school, always have.
So much so that I didn't even finish my IT degree (not even the first year) (although I already had another master's degree at that time).
I can't deny I've learned a thing or two from it though.
The Functional Programming course even changed the way I code (you'd probably say "but everything is OOP, who the heck uses Haskell!?")
I've even been able to impress people with "the stupid stuff I don't need anyway"
So yeah, if you don't want this, quit, because it's going to take a lot of time and effort.
If you do want it (or need it), change your perspective, or it's going to be a really hard-earned degree.
