That the level of programming required by a college course shouldn't require a
flow-chart is no surprise. The unfortunate aspect is that it a disdain for
flow-charting in particular may result in a general disregard for all modeling
methods.  Modeling is the essence of modern OO abstraction, and there are lots of
"programming assignments" in the real world that you just plain can't "carry in your
hat."
