I'm fond of flow charts myself.
Almost twenty years ago I took a Pascal course at the community
college from some bitch that insisted on "outlining" instead of flow
charts.
Since I was taking the course for my own benefit I just ignored her.
So she gave me an F for the course.
Got a letter from the dean, named Shirley something-or-other,
expressing concern for my "academic future".
So I sent her back a "Surely Shirley" letter, allowing as how she
needed to pay closer attention to the records... I already had a
Masters degree ;-)

I had a friend who owned a computing-services company and went to UCLA
part-time to finish his PhD. In a C-programming class, he wrote an
elegent file input routine that just needed a single GOTO to work
right. He did it, and lost a letter grade in the course.
Cool, a UCLA professor teaching people how not to think.
