comparing Pascal to LISP to APL to SNOBOL to CDC6400 assembler was awesome
Has a similar 200 level course at my undergrad. The year I took it was quite good. A couple of years afterwords, a new prof took over the course, and to limit the amount of year to year code reuse (ahem), he mixed up the program assignment and the language. For example, instead of coding the missionary and cannibal program in Lisp, he had them do it in Snobol. There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth :-|

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
