In my first semester of teaching FORTRAN, I had a student who had taken
multiple programming classes at Cal-State Hayward.  But, she did not know
what the word "COMPILE" meant!  She had always turned in her program at
the window, and picked up her output later.

THAT is why I made my C students use both a command line compiler AND an
IDE.
