There will be four assignments, typically due in 7 to 10 days.
Assignments are to be done independently. General high-level discussion of assignments with others in the class is allowed, but the actual work should be your own. Assignments that show excessive similarities will be taken as evidence of cheating and dealt with accordingly.
Assignments are to be turned in by the beginning of class on the due day. Late assignments turned in by the beginning of the next class will be graded with 30% reduction. Assignments turned in later than that will not be accepted.
Make the assignments readable and understandable. They are to be handed in on regular paper, legibly written or typed. If you have more than one sheet, staple the sheets together. If the grader has trouble reading or understanding what you have done, points will be deducted even if it can finally be determined that you have the correct answer.
Important: A common theme of this course is the application of theoretical principles to problems in the domain of programming languages. As with all theoretical foundations, your solutions have to be precise and detailed: you have to work out all details that are necessary to solve the problem using the approaches discussed in class. You also have to write your solutions in a way that convinces the grader that you understand all these details. Be careful, precise, and thorough.
