I take issue with you criticizing a student for asking for help. It seems to be an issue in comp sci; some proportion of students are always watching for others to ask for help so they can smugly lord their infinite self-learned (lol) knowledge over them.

It depends on the understanding people come away with. In some cases people will just get their hand held right through anything practical and come away not actually understanding the material.

That is different to people who don't understand something but ask the right questions so that they understand and can apply in future.
