Basically, you will learn this: parse a string of text to break it into other stuff, then evaluate those other things (recursively if necessary). The end.

Grades are not based on class material but rather scheme knowledge (especially homeworks). Your entire grade will be completely random and reflect nothing at all. Just buy a horseshoe and don't feel dumb when you get a 60 on the midterm.

12/10/06 cs660 2 5 4 3 emoticon smiley flag envelope Decent professor. Hard course material and homeworks are graded harshly (if parentheses aren't lined up correctly or if you have extra ones, be prepared to lose 5%), but he definently helps in understanding it. Randomly calls on students in class (he has a program for this). Midterms and finals are long (4 hours). Grades are scaled.
