Your experience seems very weird to me. But I don&#x27;t have enough data to know if it&#x27;s atypical. I graduated not too long ago, but my school had many industry veterans as teachers, not pure academics, and sometimes they&#x27;d tell stories, one of which included formally proving to an interviewer during a whiteboard interview that the interviewer&#x27;s expected answer was wrong. Besides that, the school (like I thought many colleges these days) put an emphasis on helping students get hired post-graduation. Additionally students themselves would practice whiteboarding each other, and I occasionally brought it up with friends in rants about how stupid the whiteboard hazing culture is.<p>Bad students or bad schools, it&#x27;s really surprising either way they can be <i>that bad</i>.
