Oh, yes.  I really would have liked a little more low-level "this is
how the code works" and a little less Top-Down Design.

The worst was a database theory class I took.  Half the class was
designing databases in some complicated model that can't even be
implemented (that we had to transform into a relational database when
we went to actually code it in), and the other half the class was the
professor whining that he can't change the hardware sector size on
modern hard-drives to match his database's record-size. :-(
