please refer to this first
It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that have had prior exposure to Basic; as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.

Why do so many students have trouble with round robin? It's not even a difficult concept, much less a difficult implementation. Yet every year (right around this time too), we're bombarded with one-liner questions by new members.
I'm here to prove you wrong.

For most of history, we observed the passing of seasons from the solstices and equinoxes. Now we just wait for the round robin question

It used to be the airline homework problem. I don't see that much anymore.

IIRC, you're supposed to write a system to schedule passengers on a plane to varying degrees of complexity. Usually it's pretty simple, but requires adding and removing passengers and assigning seats.

The airline problem ceased to be interesting when smoking was banned. One of the key tasks was separating the smoking and non-smoking seats.

Also, problems have a memetic quality, in that each succession of noobs find out from their immediate predecessors where all the best places to ask questions are to be found.

Are most computer science professors that incompetent?

..To be honest, it's unfortunate, you learn more from Google and the forum, than these instructors...it's sad. Neither did i know about the airplane algorithim. For example, on one of the programs, I used a 'break' with a 'for' loop. The program compiled ok, but i lost point because he said, never to break out of a 'for' loop. The point is...the program still worked...
