I think Brown actually uses ML's modules in the first semester course
(cs17)!

Fortunately, I think we are relatively alone in that, though keep in
mind that books like Paulson's do discuss modules, so a "beginner" is
going to want to try them out sooner or later.  Therefore, I wouldn't
completely rule them out.  Of course, you did say "currently", and
that's perfectly reasonable.
