6. We learn C, C++, Java, C#, and web development languages...

Yes Java is still a very popular teaching language. Thing is the object oriented paradigm is now used basically everywhere. C++, Java and c# account for a huge amount of the programming work done now and that's all object oriented. I enjoyed working with C and can see the appeal of procedural programming. The issue I have with procedural programming is having to handle memory manually, having to release and destroy resources when you don't need them any more. But OO programming can get really complex in terms of function calls and object hierarchies in different APIs.

Right now I'm quite worried about this semester though as I'm in an anxiety ridden state.
