I took a programming course at UT in the seventies, BASIC and FORTRAN. We would put each of our program's instructions onto a punch card until we had a "deck" that was the whole thing. Then, we'd pass it through to the IT priests who would run the program and give us a printout of the results the next day. We'd fix the bugs, lather, rinse repeat.. Programming like that seemed really anal, boring and tedious. I didn't take it any further at UT, and didn't get back into it until I got a Vic 20 and then a C-64. It was cool that I already knew Basic, from that class. Went on to learn Pascal, C, lots of other languages and a whole career..
