CS 61A The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs Instructor Brian Harvey Spring 2008
Introduction to programming and computer science. This course exposes students to techniques of abstraction at several levels: (a) within a programming language, using higher-order functions, manifest types, data-directed programming, and message-passing; (b) between programming languages, using functional and rule-based languages as examples. It also relates these techniques to the practical problems of implementation of languages and algorithms on a von Neumann machine. There are several significant programming projects, programmed in a dialect of the LISP language.

A consideration of political themes in Southern Song Academy painting, especially in works by Li Tang and his followers, ends with long sections on two subjects of this kind: buffalo and herd boy paintings and paintings of swimming fish. The part that follows, on poetic themes in Southern Song, is largely devoted to works ascribed to Ma Hezhi. A great anonymous handscroll of this period, the "Dream Journey in the Xiao-Xiang Region," is shown at length, and followed by shorter treatments of other handscrolls, including those illustrating "Wenji's Return to China."
Rhoda Goldman Distinguished Lecture in Health Policy: Ann Veneman- Addressing Global Health: A Key Priority for Development
Improving child and maternal health will help break the vicious cycle of poverty and empower families, communities and countries. It is a global challenge that requires a collective response - where results are measured in lives saved and lives made better.
As UNICEF Executive Director, Ann Veneman oversees 10,000 staff in 150 countries. UNICEF programs support childrens health and nutrition, education, protection from violence, exploitation and AIDS, and access to clean water and sanitation. In 2009, Forbes listed Ms Veneman as 46th on its list of the 100 Most Powerful Women, citing her successful efforts to improve maternal and newborn health in 25 countries. Before joining UNICEF, Ms Veneman was United States Secretary of Agriculture, overseeing 110,000 employees and an annual budget of $113 billion. In 2003, she convened leaders from 120 nations in a Ministerial Conference on Science and Technology to explore new approaches to using science and technology to reduce hunger and poverty in developing countries. Ms Veneman received her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from UC Davis; her Masters in Public Policy from UC Berkeleys Goldman School of Public Policy; and her Juris Doctorate from UC Hastings College of Law.

Michael O'Hare
Professor of Public Policy, Goldman School of Public Policy
Join us for a presentation from Michael O'Hare, Professor of Public Policy, on a Quality Assurance Program for Higher Education Pedagogy. Modern quality assurance for manufacturing and service industries, for academic research, and for affectively-dense and craft-skill- dependent professions like the arts and medicine, share a few core principles:
Measure everything, and learn from exceptions and variation
Watch each other work and institutionalize coaching up, down, and sideways
Not dependent on prizes and individual rewards
Manage the time derivative of performance, not absolute-scale measure
Expect continuous improvement with no ceiling
