{\large \bf CS 511: Organization of Programming Languages}\\
Winter Quarter (15-625-511-001) \\
Meets: M-W-F 8:00--8:50 in Swift 605


\item {\bf Instructor:} Fred Annexstein\ \ {\bf Office:} 889 Rhodes

\item {\bf Office Hours:} M-W-F 9:00--10:00\ \ {\bf Telephone:} 556-1807

\item {\bf Description:}
The student shall learn the fundamental tools needed for critical
evaluation of existing and future programming languages and constructs.
The material taught in this course also is helpful when learning compiler
design and construction.  It is assumed that the student has a good 
working knowledge of the ``C'' language.

\item {\bf Prerequisites:} See Course Descriptions in Department Office.

\item {\bf Grading ({\em approx}) :} Homeworks count 50\%,
the midterm counts 25\% and the final 25\%.  Class participation helps
to bias things a bit.  Grades are assigned on an informal ``curve''.

\item {\bf Homework Policy:}
Six to seven homeworks may be assigned this quarter.


\item{\bf Textbook:}
{\em Programming Languages: Concepts and Constructs} by
R. Sethi, Addison-Wesley (1996)
\item {\bf Accounts:} 
Accounts will be on UCUNIX.  Your account name and initial password
are derived as usual.
\item {\bf Joint Work:}
Students may discuss homework assignments with each
other, but must write solutions individually.
