- Course Outline: This course is an introduction to the fascinating field of programming languages. The course will examine design, implementation, and use of high-level programming languages. Topics include: historical background; how languages reflect different design philosophies and user requirements; technical issues in the design of imperative (a.k.a., procedural) programming languages; other approaches to programming: functional programming, logic programming, and object-oriented programming.
- Lectures: T 12:00-1:50 and 12:00-2:50 Th, online
- Textbook: No textbook, but detailed course notes will be provided to students at no cost.
- Grading: 4 assignments worth 15% each; two midterms worth 15% each, and a final exam worth 20%.
- Missing or late work policy: Assignments are worth 15 points, and late assignments will have one (5) point deducted for each day they are late (up to 3 days; 0 after that). If a midterm or final exam is missed, this will be dealt with on a case by case basis, requiring a letter from the students explaining the situation. Please note that in the industry, work has to both meet requirements and be delivered on time.
- How to avoid plagiarism: Each student should work independently on the assignments and tests; verbal discussions of assignments among students are allowed (indeed encouraged), but you should not share code, and you should not leave such discussions with written notes.
- Attendance: Students are encouraged but not required to attend the lectures. The assignments will be posted online, and submitted with GitHub classroom. The midterms and the final exam will be written in Canvas (multiple-choice) during the Tuesday lecture (see dates below).
