I remember asking the TA's at my university the same thing in 1995, and they laughed at me and thought I was lazy for not wanting to do that menial repetitive task...
It's not a bad thing though to demand from your students to do it 'the hard way', and change to computerized interpretation afterwards. It will help you a big deal in mastering the interpretation of such spectra. I don't know how important the personal interpretation of NMR or IR results is after the computer gives you a result, but for MS, personal interpretation is very important.
I've seen pretty stupid things during the last years when working with students. They come to you with a piece of paper that says that their calibration was perfect with a RC of 0.99998%. Off course, the computer printed it, but where does it come from? They don't know, and that is a shame because it is elementary knowledge, or at least should be elementary knowledge... Also, I've seen students injecting samples (typically 1 µL) in small openings of an old analogue recorder connected to an FID, mistaking that opening for the GC's inlet. Also, last week, a new student tried to install an HPLC column in a GC I reserve for working with the students. But what beats me most is that the students have to follow a course of Mass Spectrometry, and some of them know the theory of molecular decay in MS better than I do, but they just fail to understand how to make an interpretation of their GC/MS results...
So you might think it is an annoying task to do this repetitive task, but I can guarantee you that it will have its benefits. Students who start with ultra-modern equipment just know shit. Not to blame them, they can't help it... I had the luck to be educated by somebody who was grown into the world that is called GC. He made his own GC in the 50s when most labs couldn't afford such devices yet. He ordered one of the first books on the GC topic and with some collegues, they started constructing it. They even disassembled irons for the electrical components. Admitted, doing such things now for professional purposes would be extremely stupid, but for student education, extremely helpful.
