CSE 341: Programming Languages

Autumn 2015

General Information

Please use the course discussion board to discuss concepts, questions, specific issues about assignments, and so forth. Don't post solutions or parts of solutions though. The board is divided into different sections -- please use the appropriate one for your post. There is also a class mailing list for announcements.

Topics

Assignments and Turnin

Some assignments will include "extra credit" sections. These will enrich your understanding of the material, but deliberately will provide scant credit in proportion to the work required. Do them for what you'll learn beyond the basics, not the points, and don't even think about starting the extra credit portion until the main problems are complete.

Exams

The midterm will be in class Friday Nov 6. The sections the day before will be review sessions.

The final will be in the regular classroom, Dec 15, 2:30-4:20pm. The last regular lecture, on Dec 11, will be a course recap and review for the final. There was also be a optional question-and-answer review session the afternoon of Dec 14, 4:30-5:20, in MGH 241 (our regular classroom).

For both the midterm and the final, you can bring a maximum of 2 (single sided) pages of notes. No laptops, tablets, or smart phones. The notes could just be printouts of materials from the class website, but preparing your own notes is a great way to review.

For practice exams, see previous offerings of the course. The mini-exercises are also good study material.
