Maybe college has changed since I went there, but a similar question was asked and the professor responded with "you are free to drop the class." It was a required class for a CS degree and when the student pointed this out, the professor said that it's still freshman year, feel free to switch majors and that they should shut up because they were interfering with everybody else who (unlike them) were actually trying to learn something.
