If I had one handy I'd thumb through it and find examples, but I don't.
Things that spring to mind are bad coding style, bad (and confusing)
examples, and poorly defined exersises. That last one is only really an
issue when you are trying to explain an assigment to a confused CS student,
which I spend a lot of time doing as a tutor.
