I have to agree with Jaymz. During the time I was a part time Instructor
at Metro Community College there were the two distinct groups of students.


Though, you have to remember that CSE major is programming, not
networking. Unfortunately the Uni's think all you need it 31337
programming skills, you do not need to know anything about computer
hardware, networking, or security.

But this is more than lazy students, this definitely has to do with lazy
people who expect quick fixes done for them.

Again - your education is what you make it.
