Responses to questions

• Is is NOT safe to focus only on stuff since the last exam
• The format of the exam will be similar to the midterm: you will have to be able to read code in: FORTRAN, Pascal, Ada, Lisp, and Prolog and to write code in those languages. You will need to be able to answer questions about the way Alice works.
• How to study:
• Look at the notes and program examples on the web
• Review the chapters and look at the questions at the end of each chapter
• Focus on the items in the study guide
