We learned Java in school this year. Everyone who did not comply to the coding style defined in some stone-age books, got a bad grade, including me, who rather used a "normal" style everyone uses. They thought us this:
CLASSNAMES, Constants, MethodNames, VariableNames, etc.
Worse than that, they used german names for pretty much everything including classes, variables and methods.

    @mightyleguan Where in Germany? I experienced this in Bavaria. Perhaps there are more progressive states somewhere though

    Hearing this I am happy our university (Germany) was mostly theoretical, targeted to working in research. So everything was English in the (few) programming courses we had.
    This should be the default at every computer science university, honestly.
