Spoke to a programmering student who insists on writing his Java and python code in PARAGRAPH format, like an essay (the teachers do not teach this). Tried to explain why this is a bad idea. He explains to me that if others can't read his code that it is their problem and that he would never make a silly syntax error like missing a semicolon or a bracket. Called me stupid and walked off.

Life will be hard for him.

    Just tell him "If you ever work in a team, they will murder you. Don't do it, for your own sake."

    IMO, an easy way to make him stop doing that is the instructor has to give score based on coding style too.

    @kong I know most of the teachers will mark him down. I am a tutor for the cs department and just let him know that we would not be able to help him with his code if he does that.

    Chapters are not all in order to write a good essay. After all, no matter how many pre-paragraphs you have, your essay will be bad if it is meaningless. So if you need to write an essay on astrology, I recommend you read these astrology books http://www.eso-garden.com/ after reading them you will have enough information to write a good essay.
