Advanced Programming Languages and Verification

It's all just induction

Course Information and Policies

This is an advanced undergraduate special topics course on programming languages and verification. We'll aim to balance theory and practice, with lecture leaning a little bit theoretical and assignments leaning a little bit practical. We expect the course to be challenging and fast-paced. In particular, the weekly homework assignments are about a full week's worth of work assuming you take a normal course load in addition to this course.

This is a difficult time. The course will be taught entirely online via Zoom. We will record lectures and section for archival purposes, but real-time attendance is mandatory except in extenuating circumstances. Please get in touch to discuss any accommodations you may need to succeed in this course.

Real-time attendance at lecture and section is mandatory except in extenuating circumstances. If you must miss any of these, please notify all staff by email as soon as possible.

Late Policy

All assignments are due on a Wednesday at 5:59:59pm Pacific time. You have 10 late days to use throughout the quarter. Late days are indivisible, and each late day extends the deadline by 24 hours. In other words, if you submit at 6:00:00pm Pacific time on a Wednesday, you are charged 1 whole late day and have until 5:59:59pm on Thursday to keep submitting without spending additional late days.
