CS 2650 and 3000, but also:
Some mathematical maturity (at the level of "I've seen and done a few
proofs before") and (most importantly) a desire to learn!
We'll meet MWF from 2-2:55pm. Attendance in class is required.
Homework consists of programming assignments and
Blackboard quizzes. We'll have both a traditional
in-class midterm and a final.
Blackboard will be used to post quizzes and to report grades.
Up-to-date information on other aspects of the course
(assignment due dates, etc.) will be posted on this website
so check back frequently!

12/11-15: Final Exam Period
(a) An ability to apply knowledge of computing and mathematics appropriate to the program's student outcomes and to the discipline. Students will be able to:
-
Design and implement structured data types to solve
computational problems
-
Design and implement higher-order functions to solve
computational problems
-
Use static scope to disambiguate identifiers in a program
-
Use pattern-matching to decompose and compute on structured data
-
Use recursion to write functions that manipulate recursive collection
types such as lists
(b) An ability to analyze a problem, and identify and define the computing requirements appropriate to its solution. Students will be able to:
-
Identify and define the extensions of a parser necessary for parsing new features
such as mutable references in a programming language
-
Identify and define the extensions of an interpreter required to implement new features
such as closures in a programming language
(c) An ability to design, implement, and evaluate a computer-based system, process, component, or program to meet desired needs. Students will be able to:
-
Implement in Pyret a type-checker for an extended arithmetic expression language
-
Implement in Pyret an interpreter for an extended arithmetic expression language
-
Implement and evaluate the correctness of a small deductive database in Datalog
Homework and Lateness Policy
Homework will usually be due Wednesdays by 11:59pm.
Late homework assignments will be penalized according to the following
formula:
- Up to 24 hours late: no deduction, for a max 2 late homeworks per
student across the entire semester
- Homeworks later than 24 hours, or from students who have already
turned in 2 late homeworks, will receive 0 points.
Academic Honesty Policy
Acceptable Collaboration Matrix
| Instructor/GA | Noninstructor (e.g., Another Student) |
You | all collaboration allowed | high-level discussion
(of the problems, not your code!)
allowed but only after you've started the assignment;
must be documented in README as described below |
You
may discuss the homework with other students in
the class, but only after you've attempted the problems on your own
first. If you do discuss the homework problems with others, write the
names of the students you spoke with, along with a brief summary of
what you discussed, in a README comment at the top of each
submission. Example:
(*
README
Name: Gordon Stewart
Assignment: A0
Collaboration: I spoke with X and Y. We swapped tips regarding the
use of lists in Pyret.
*)
However, under no circumstances are you permitted
to share or directly copy code or other written homework material,
except with course instructors.
If I discover that you've cheated on an
assignment, you'll get an automatic 0 along with an immediate
referral to the
Office of Community Standards, which will likely
take disciplinary action against you.
Remember: homework is there to give *you* practice in
the new ideas and techniques covered by the course; it does you no
good if you don't engage!
In general, students in EECS courses such as this one must
adhere to the Russ College of Engineering and Technology Honor
Code, and to the OU
Student Code of Conduct. If you haven't ever read these documents,
please do so.
Students with Disabilities
If you suspect you may need an accommodation based on the impact of a
disability, please contact me privately to discuss your specific
needs. If you're not yet registered as a student with a disability,
contact the
Office of Student
Accessibility Services first.
