I placed out of E115 back in the summer of '96. It was a summer session before being formally accepted as a freshman in the college of engineering. We were provided an instructor who gave us classes for like 2 weeks instruction or so in order to have enough information and place out. E115, for me, was just to get over the initial shock of linux. That is it. I was able to navigate to files, create directories...the basic stuff. What was lacking was the reason why it should have been taken further;The benefits it would provide later in life. I think if the college of engineering where serious, they would provide something beyond E115. But then again, I guess they figure "You know where the library is."

I don't get it. What's wrong with the current material? I kinda like
it. Granted, it's simple, and granted, it doesn't represent the state of
Linux art. Is the dissatisfaction just due to the fact that the course
does a poor job of "selling" Linux?
