Assignments and grading: There will be 6 assignments during the course, a midterm exam (in class) and a final exam or a research project. Final grades will be determined on the basis of the assignments, of the exam(s) and/or of the project, as follows:
The assignments will be both theoretical and programming exercises. The languages recommended for the programming exercises are ML, Prolog or Lambda Prolog. The language Lambda Prolog will be taught during the course. ML and Prolog will be briefly introduced during the course.
Assignments are due at the start of class on the date specified. They will be accepted after that time until the start of the next class period with a 20% penalty. No submission will be accepted after this time.
Academic Integrity:
Although it is reasonable (and even encouraged!)
to discuss with other students the problems of the assignments,
each student is expected to submit only
his own original work, or where applicable,
to cite the source of the solution (books,
articles, and other individuals).
