Concepts in Programming Languages
by John Mitchell
Available at the Dartmouth Bookstore and Wheelock Books.
Grades
The final grade will be determined based on weekly problem sets (written
and programming) a midterm, a final exam, and a project involving Python.
- Homeworks: 50%
- Midterm: 20%
- Final: 20%
- Project: 10%
The midterm will be 7:00 on May 9 in 006 Kemeney.
The final will be 3:00 on June 5.
Late Homeworks
Homework is due at class time on the due date. Late homework
will loose 20% if handed in by the next class, 40% if handed in
by the class following that, and will not be accepted later.
Honor Code
- All work submitted for credit must be your own.
- You may discuss the homework problems with your classmates
and the instructor. You must acknowledge
the people with whom you discussed your work, and you must write
up your own solutions. Any written sources used (apart from the text)
must also be acknowledged.
- Exam problems may only be discussed with the instructor.
- Please ask if you have any questions about the honor code as it
applies to CS 68.
Students with Disabilities
I encourage students
with disabilities, including "invisible" disabilities
such as chronic diseases and learning disabilities, to discuss with
me any appropriate accommodations that I might make on their
behalf.
