        There will be two in-class examinations, on Tuesday, October 3,  and  Tuesday,
        November  14.   The  Final  Examination is on Tuesday, December 12, 8:00-10:30
        A.M.  The  schedule  of  these  exams  is  fixed  and  cannot  be  changed  to
        accommodate  individual  circumstances  except  for  a major illness or family
        emergency.  In such cases, arrangements must be made BEFORE THE  TIME  OF  THE
        EXAM  to  take  the  exam  at a different time. Makeup exams will not be given
        without such PRIOR approval and only for the emergency cases indicated.  There
        will  be  a  term  project  to  implement a compiler for a small but practical
        programming language.  Finally, there will be a small number of  exercises  to
        support and complement the examinations and term project.
