What aspects of this course were most beneficial to you?

3. Exposure to functional languages, discussions of language design versus implementation
What do you suggest to improve this course?
1. we had quite few issues the withe blackboard - professor would write something on the board, but it wouldn't go into online system; pens he used to write would fail.
2. Allow late homework
3. Less coverage on topics already covered in prerequisite courses (e.g. stack discipline, memory models, etc)
4. In terms of difficulty, this course was seriously lacking. A policy of teaching to the least intelligent student might be appropriate in a grammar school but it is completely out of place at the graduate level. One might reasonably expect a core course to weed out a number of students who are unwilling or unable to perform at a sufficiently high level.
