This is true, for the most part, and for most majors. However, for
CompSci, at least at my alma mater, there was a "team programming"
course where your grade depended on the output of your team. I think
the architectural students also might have had some team projects, but
I'm not sure.
No argument about the statement that college is far removed from
reality.
