Organization The focus of this course is the practice of concurrent
programming. Thus, we will spend our time on three primary pursuits:
Learning fundamental concepts and techniques;
Practicing those techniques on homework assignments and in-class exercises; and
Communicating and reasoning about concurrency via pair programming and classroom discussions.
To facilitate in-class exercises, students are requested to bring a laptop or
similar device to each lecture.
Grades The final grading scale is to be determined.
The goal is to run this course for adults who are enrolled because they have a deep, burning desire to learn. They respect a basic honor code, which includes neither cheating nor helping in an inappropriate manner.
