- 8/03:
 | Happy Summer! |  |
- 8/03: Creative solution to one of the homework problems! (Thanks to Ryan)
- 7/24: FINAL EXAM is scheduled on 8/02 (Wednesday), 07:30-09:00 p.m., 306 State Hall. The exam covers: (1) syntax + regular expressions, (2) memory management, (3) object-oriented, functional and logic programming paradigms, (4) languages Perl, C++, Scheme and Prolog.
- 7/19: Assignment 3 is out. Due 7/31 midnight by email electronic submission to the instructor.
- 7/15: Due to many requests, the project 2 deadline is extended to 7/21 midnight. However, projects submitted after 7/15 midnight will be penalized 10 points and the optional part will not be graded.
- 7/06: The project 2 deadline is extended to 7/15 midnight. Students who submit their projects on time (7/7) and score 70+ will be rewarded 5 extra points towards the project score. In any case, the optional part (Part 6 - up to 5 extra points towards your course final grade - must score 99+ on non-optional part) can be [re]submitted on 7/15.
- 7/06: Assignment 2 is out. Due 7/15 midnight by email electronic submission to the instructor.
- 7/03: I may suggest to use the Eclipse editor with the Scheme plugin for writing the Scheme programs (*.scm). However, any text editor is ok.
- 7/03: Information about the Scheme programming language is added to the "Textbook and materials" section.
- 7/03: Midterm grades and statistics.
- 6/19: Multi-Edit - comprehensive editor that works with the languages available today. Get the 30-day evaluation version to complete your Perl project.
- 6/14: Mid-term examination is on 6/26. About the exam, sample problem types.
- 6/14: Project 2 is out. Due 7/7 midnight by email electronic submission to the instructor.
- 6/03: Reading assignment: Chapters 1-5 of tutorial "Perl 5 by Example". The chapters were covered on Friday (6/2).
- 5/30: Assignment 1 is out. Due 6/7 midnight by email electronic submission to the instructor (or in-class paper copy submission).
- 5/22: Monday, May 29 - Memorial Day recess. We meet on Friday, June 2 to accommodate holiday closure.
- 5/17: Project 1 is out. Due 5/29 midnight by email electronic submission to the instructor.

- 5/4: All students who would like to take the course are expected to attend the first class.
- Learn the fundamental principles of modern computer programming languages.
- Learn about a variety of different programming language paradigms.
- Gain some programming experience in a selected set of languages.

- Assignments must be submitted before class starts by the due date.
- Assignments turned in after that time will be considered late and will lose 25% credit.
- The project cannot be submitted late. No projects will be accepted for grading after the due date.
- No assignment will be accepted for grading after 1 week late.
- Students must not co-work (unless you are specifically advised this as part of the project) or copy another student's work. Assignments found to be similar will be given the grade of 0 (zero).
Copying an assignment from another student in this class or obtaining a solution from some other source will lead to an automatic failure for this course and to a disciplinary action. Allowing another student to copy one's work will be treated as an act of academic dishonesty, leading to the same penalty as copying. You should learn how to protect your data. Failure to do so is also unprofessional and it may expose you to the danger that someone will copy your homework and will submit it as his or her own (see above). In this case, you may be given a score of 0 for the assignment in question (and the other party will get a failure).
