        Note that there is no class on Monday, January 17 (Martin  Luther  King,  Jr.,
        Holiday),  or Monday, March 28, and Wednesday, March 30 (Spring Break).  There
        will be two in-class examinations, on Wednesday, February  9,  and  Wednesday,
        March  23.   The  Final  Examination  is on Monday, May 2, 4:15-6:45 P.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.
