  Those of you who are signed up for 4 units of credit for CS 421 will
  need to complete the unit project.  The unit project is broken out
  in a series of PrairieLearn assignments exploring an aspect
  of implementing an interpreter for a small imperative programming
  language I am calling Cmm that is essentially a fragment of the C
  programming language.

    Assignments will be given after similar material has been covered
    in class. The assignments are given at a level of detail closer to
    a conference paper than the MPs in this course.  Part of the
    assignment is working out the details of the assignment.  All
    asignments are due at the end of the final grading period.
