That sounds like the advice given in the first section of my unix course notes; RTFM. (Or, for the acronymically challenged (which is ME ME ME!), Read The Fucking Manual.)
The programming lecturers seem to be a quirky lot. It keeps us mostly entertained (currently, one has a tendency to beat metaphors brutally until they are fatally wounded and thereafter crawl off to die in a dark alley, and the java lecturer plays jazz music to start off the class. And he loves wikipedia XD)
