CSE 341: Quizzes and Exams, Autumn 2003

• Midterm Exam 1 is scheduled for Monday, October 27. It will cover Common Lisp, including list structure, writing recursive procedures, scope and extent of bindings. Know how functions differ from special forms, and how macros work. Also, know about pure functions, referential transparency and side effects. Know about the rules of evaluation. You will be expected not only to understand how macros work but also to be able to write a simple macro. In addition, the following topics will be tested: closures, APPLY, FUNCALL, MAPCAR, and Turing completeness. (The Lambda calculus will not be covered on this midterm.)
  Bring a standard answer sheet ("Scantron form") and some sharpened, number 2 pencils.

  Corrections to the sample midterm given out on Oct 22.

• Midterm Exam 2 is scheduled for Wednesday, November 19. Bring a "Scantron" form and some number 2 pencils.
• The Final exam will be inclusive of all language and conceptual material covered during the course. Many of the questions will be similar to questions on the midterms.
  There will be two parts to the final exam. Part I is a "take-home" portion involving a comparison of two programming languages. This must be completed before Part II and is due on Wednesday morning at 8:30 AM.
  Part II will be given at the scheduled final examination time and will consist of a combination of multiple-choice and written-answer questions. Be sure to bring a standard answer sheet ("Scantron") and some number 2 pencils.
