Q: At the end of the last lecture you mentioned a couple of topics that would be and wouldn't be on the exam. I was just wondering if you could have a quick glance at the list I managed to scribble together (below), to see if I had missed something. Any additional comments on exam topics would be appreciated as well. programming over syntax tree concrete/abstract grammars (and modifying/changing them) no lexing bison rule/modification haskell programming haskell typing haskell evaluation structure of terms exceptions semantics SImPL A: No further comments Q: Are you planning to give the with bison example sheet you did in class just like our first midterm. A: I said in class that I would do something like that when necesary. Q: From the the things that could come in exam, what do mean by structure of terms and programming over syntax tree A: MT3 Q1 and Exercise 10.2. Q: and when u say semantics is that the proving question we did for midterm 3? A: Operational semantics is 9.3.b) and also material like exercises 9.4 and 8.2 Axiomatic semantics are proofs like MT3 Q2 and the rest of Exercise 9.3, and quite a few other exercises. Q: Programing in Haskell seems to be a problem, its like i get to certain point and i can't think of the syntax to complete the program. how Could i earn marks if i got stuck in same situation in exams. A: * Check whether any supplied material contains examples that might have something similar to what you need. * Explain what you think you need to do. * Don't hesitate to ask me during the exam when you are stuck.
Q: Will exceptions (as in Exercise 8.2) be on the midterm? A: Midterm 3 will contain something more of the flavour of Exercise 10.2; a question of the flavour of Exercises 8.2 and 9.4 will likely be on the final.

Academic dishonesty consists of misrepresentation by deception or by other fraudulent means and can result in serious consequences, e.g. the grade of zero on an assignment, loss of credit with a notation on the transcript (notation reads: ``Grade of F assigned for academic dishonesty''), and/or suspension or expulsion from the university.
It is your responsibility to understand what constitutes academic dishonesty. For information on the various kinds of academic dishonesty please refer to the Academic Integrity Policy, specifically Appendix 3, located at http://www.mcmaster.ca/senate/academic/ac_integrity.htm
The following illustrates only three forms of academic dishonesty:
