Granted, somebody like Leon Kodžoman (who was in my team in a programming competition called STEM Games) could make a PicoBlaze Simulator similar to what I made, as he indeed made something similar (not for PicoBlaze, but for his own imaginary computer), but such students are rare. I think an average 3rd year computer science student at my university knows just enough programming to understand my "Decimal to Binary" example program in the PicoBlaze Simulator.
You’ve said repeatedly that the courses are useless for preparing you to be a programmer (all you’re after is the sheepskin), but now you’re claiming these courses have made you the best student programmer at your school.
Maybe you should stop yakking about Semmelweis and look into Drs. Dunning and Kruger.

I am not saying these courses made me one of the best student programmers at my school, I am saying I one of the best student programmers at my school in spite of the way the university is teaching. I am one of the best student programmers at my school because I have made many hobby projects.
And I don't think I am suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect. If I wasn't one of the best students to represent the university at the STEM Games programming competition, professor Tomislav Rudec would not choose me for that. If I wasn't one of the most competent people at my university to make a PicoBlaze Simulator which can be run in an Internet browser (as somebody who knows both the basics of front-end development and the basics of the assembly language programming), professor Ivan Aleksi would not ask me to make a PicoBlaze Simulator which he needed in case laboratory exercises were cancelled because of the pandemic.
