Another bad practice.  I hate it when students turn in pages and pages of code which is half commented-out.  How can they possibly see what is going on!

This practice is encouraged by the lack of an IDE that supports versioning.   Smalltalkers don't do it: they just delete the code, and then go back and use versions … to restore it later.
