I totally get that, and leading a class in a way that prepares them for the 'real world' is awesome. The examples I'm thinking of involve occasions such as when I used a package (NumPy) for matrix multiplication instead of writing my own function to perform the task. I didn't think matrix multiplication was the main learning objective of the assignment and was counted off for failing to demonstrate how to code that. I guess my original comment doesn't really make sense in this [ranting] context though because mine probably would have still satisfied an autograder. I digress...
