The final exam for the course is Thursday, April 30, 2020, at 1600 in the classroom (INNOVA 1400). This is the regularly scheduled time for courses taught from 1450 to 1605 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. (See the university exam schedule.) The syllabus is tentative. In particular, the date of the midterm exam may change and projects may be assigned at different times. Update of 2020-02-20. As announced in class on 2020-02-18, the midterm exam will be one week later than in the schedule below, i.e., either March 3 or March 5. Update of 2020-03-18. Due to the closure of the university for one extra week and the use of virtual instruction starting on 2020-03-23, the time allocation table below has been modified. Update of 2020-04-13. Project 2 includes the original projects 2 (type checking) and project 3 (interpretation). Project 4, which was supposed to be assigned in week 13, has been dropped.
