CS365 -- Programming Languages and Systems

Lecture Notes

  1. In other courses I videotape my lectures but for this course I have prepared condensed video lectures that I post. If you miss lecture, just review the video lectures for that day. You can also speed them up. I find that I sound good at 1.5 times normal speed.
  2. When there are assigned Zybook readings, you are responsible for completing the Participatory Activities in those sections. To receive credit for them, go to Canvas and click through on the link for that day.
