i had to take an incomplete in the course. i took the course at the new school, and they didnt have their own computer so i had to go book time at nyu. would spend 4 hrs using a keypunch to type out 2 or 3 thousand lines of data, then wait an hour for it to be put into que for it to run, then have it come back failed 392 syntax errors. commands were very unforgiving , if you typed a comma instead of a period or had more than one space between words, it wa a synax error. well after trying to correct it for another week, i never was able to get the program to run and had to take an incomplete in the course.
My first (HS) programming class was a programmable calculator. It could take up to 8 cards and we had no keypunch. Had to use paper clip and this holder with strips of rubber underneath spaced just so.
