I am currently a 3rd year computing science student at a Canadian University. I find it quite challenging, and extremely interesting. One thing that i have noticed is that each person i speak to that took a class 3 or so years ago learned much less than i did in the same class, and people who are taking 1st year classes are doing more than i remember doing in my 1st year classes. Is this just me remembering stuff bad, or do you believe that getting a computing science degree was easier 10 (or even 5) years ago?

I don't know if it's harder or easier, but definitely different.

I'm only a couple years out, but I've noticed that current students appear to me to have a more abstracted knowledge base, but lack fundamentals which cause them to falter on simple tasks.

It's the whole 'calculator debate': "They can do higher order math using a calculator, but can barely multiply without one."1

1 I'm not advocating the truth of that particular debate, just using it as a reference point in understanding my point.
