I wonder where the asker's degree is from. With the exception of entity-relation diagrams in my Database course, my CS degree didn't touch any of the things he mentioned (I haven't even heard of some of them). Even my DB course didn't focus much on ER diagrams; a significant chunk was over relational algebra.

There was one professor I had to deal with that required a UML for every assignment, sometimes the UML was to be turned in before you got assigned the code. In either case points would be docked if your UML didn't match your code.

Solution? I coded all my projects before the UML deadline and turned in a screenshot from XCode's UML generator.

(I had him for 4 classes using Java and C++)

That's how I got through all my uni assignments that required UML. I just hacked it together in the agile style and then generated UML diagrams in svg after the fact.
