The vast majority of students in your program are unqualified to have an opinion. There's no point in having a university teach you version control systems if you're just going to end up learning it anyway. It's basically impossible to make students good software engineers (which has nothing to do with version control systems or other trivial things like that) in an academic setting. That's only something which comes with experience.
