Writing tight code, not fast and loose.
Interoperable, neat, documented, not obfuscated.
Tidy use of memory, etc.

Also not reinventing the wheel with subroutines that alreasy exist :-)

We were taught C programming in 1st year CS in Embra, ML was for 2nd year.
It was more of a concepts based course. They are teaching Java now. And I
have no idea what the course quality is now.
