This course is pretty much like Lushman’s cs 246e style: lots of things, hard, time-consuming, but learn a lot definitely. (I am creating a circular argument)

This course covers all cs 136 contents in about half of the course. Then the rest discusses more Racket, some cs 245 stuff (program verification), baby compiler and so on. The compiler stuff is almost the same as the beginning and end of cs 241. So Brad recommends taking cs 241e instead of cs 241.

The course frequently switches gears, i.e., jump from topics to topics, so doing the assignments will help you keep up with the lecture material.
