			COURSE FACTS

Instructor:  John McCarthy
	     Usually at AI lab (497-4430) ;Polya 203 by appointment

TA:	     Chris Goad 	T,Th  14:30-17:00  (negotiable)
	     Polya 209  (497-4945)

Course meets:  T,Th 11:00-12:15
	       Polya 111

Course notes:  Cost $1.00 per student.  Payable in advance
	       to Polly Crandall in Polya 251 or to Chris Goad.
	       The notes will be passed out in class from time to time.

Texts:  Bobrow, Burton and Lewis,  UCI LISP Manual
	Qaum and Diffie, Stanford LISP 1.6 Manual (SAILON 28.6)
Optional:  Weissman, Clark, LISP 1.5 Primer

	Texts are available in the bookstore.

Computer:
	We will be using a PDP-10 belonging to IMSSS.
	We will be running a computer-assisted instruction
	program designed to teach LISP.  (This course
	is roughly equivalent to Weissman.)  The program
	will give you all the capabilities of UCI LISP,
	and various types of learning aids.
Terminals:
	Located on 2nd floor of Casita Hall (behind Ventura).
	There are 26 model 33 teletypes (sorry about that)
	and 6 display terminals.  Although the teletypes
	are the terminals intended for use by this course,
	we have obtained permission for students to use
	the display terminals also.  HOWEVER, YOU ARE LAST
	IN PRIORITY.  IF ANYBODY ELSE AT ALL WANTS TO USE
	THE DISPLAYS, YOU MUST GET OFF!  (Use a teletype
	instead.)

Hours:
	Tentatively, the terminal rooms will be unlocked
	M-TH 7:30-23:00.
	F 7:30-18:00
	SUN 13:00-17:00.
	Students inside at closing time may remain, but
	are not to admit anyone else.
