You are really setting yourself up for either disapointment, failure or both. If you get to wrapped up in what the problem in your assignment is and not what the methods for solving it are, then you will have a very hard time solving much more interesting problems later.

I will readily agree that many CS professors are intelligent but maybe not the best teachers. Don't let that limit what you learn though. The classes that most people tend to do the worst in are the ones where they blame the prof about their failure to learn anything. Take the matter into your own hands and teach yourself or find different teachers.

Also, from what I've seen CS leave school in the $35000-65000 range whereas MIS leave with $28000-45000 and less room for advancement in a development related field due to their typically weaker dev skills.
