I disagree. You should study computer sciences because you’re a geek and want to know more. Knowing how to right-click and select “Create ZIP from directory” is the most basic feature ever. When I started my compsci courses, I had friends who already knew C++ or were compiling their own kernel of this brand new thing called “Linux.”
Zipping a folder is more basic than installing a software on Windows. It is in right click menu since eons, and most files on internet are shared as ZIP/RAR/7Z/TGZ files, in that order of popularity.
He was there to learn, right? Is a first semester student expected to know specific programs without explanation?
Zipping a folder is on of the most basic features of any os. It’s weird that he was so unfamiliar with computers and decided to get into compsci
It’s what happens when everyone says it’s a moneymaker. Most of them transfer out of the program after first year
Zipping a folder has 0 to do with compsci in the first place. Unless it’s a course on compression.

So you should only major in things you already know?
Any decent compsci program starts out assuming the student knows nothing.
Besides computer science is about math, not actually interacting with a specific os.
