That’s a fair point but the kind of interview this course is preparing you for is a CS test, not a practical software engineering test.

To the extent that companies test CS fundamentals to screen SWE roles, however, we can reasonably argue the implementation of the CS fundamentals test.
It seems to me that four years worth of coursework and exams provide a better assessment than a couple hours of on the spot performance.
