How to find things out about Ling001

For most course information, start from the schedule, which gives the topic of each lecture, the associated pages in the reading, and a description of any associated class handouts. The schedule page also has hyperlinks to on-line lecture notes for each topic. These lecture notes in turn contain links to other useful web sites.

For any other questions about the course structure, please email the instructors.

Information about computing at Penn

You can get information about computing resources at Penn from several sources. Your first resource should be your "local support provider." If you don't know who that is, you can find out from the Computing Resource Center, 3732 Locust Walk, or by calling First Call at 573-4778.

Another source of information is the computing page of the university's web site. Of special interest may be the table of campus computing labs.
