There will be two exams, a midterm (25%) and a final (35%), as well as three programming projects (counting, from first to third, for 10%, 15%, and 15%). As an aid to studying, both a practice midterm and a practice final will be provided (on the web site). The grading of projects will be eminently fair: I don't expect students to become Lisp experts overnight. I'm especially sensitive to the challenge of shifting from a procedural (= imperative) mindset in programming, to a functional or declarative mindset. There will occasional ``pop problems" presented during lecture. Though these problems will not figure in grade calculation, students are required to try to solve them on the honor system. These problems are designed so that everyone can solve them given sufficient effort, and sufficient command over (R&N). Also, as part of the author's experimental research, students will be confronted with a number of puzzles (all of which make for interesting test cases for clever artificial agents). Please appeal grades by contacting me in person.
