That is indeed a problem, and the trouble is of course that it
is one thing to ask for help on CLA for an if statement, quite
another to ask for help on CLA for implementing a complex
program in a highly technical domain.

It always amazes me how many students do indeed have trouble
learning from books. I noticed this particularly in a recent
programming language course. One student actually wrote that
the Java assignment was impossible since we had not covered
enough in class for him to complete it and "I don't have
time to read books".
