I really don't like that course.  Those two are pointless to the point that 
they are harmful.  Neither of those approach the threshold where it makes 
sense to do them.  You might devise an algorithm to make a sandwich, it 
doesn't make sense to most people to devise an algorithm to eat a piece of 
sliced bread. If the course is about masticating, OK, but not if it is how 
to be a cook.

It's as though rules were given to automaton to devise lesson plans - and it 
followed the rules slavishly.  Slavish is what automatons DO. .
