We're learning how to write out algorithms for mathematical things, definitions, etc.
The algorithms you will come in contact with will be embedded into software and you use them by clicking a button and sometimes entering variables (often search criterias).
Learning how a specific algorithm works seems like a waste of time, unless you are going to write your own software. It is good to have a working understanding of how a recursive algorithm can be used to search through a folder with subfolders, but learning how to write one - not so much.
(Sometimes i wonder if any of these teachers that train students in forensics ever have worked in the field or have been hired based upon their CSI-watching habits)
