------------------------------------------
        WHAT DID WE LEARN?

1. write down names of ideas/concepts that
you learned this semester
(about the course content).

2. Rank them: most important = 1, ...












------------------------------------------
	(may want to show the table of contents slide here)

	Take survey of the most important ideas, get out the 3 most important.

	my votes:
		0. The concept of an interpreter (it's another program)
		1. The idea of an environment, how it relates to scope, etc.
		2. the idea of how to recurse over a grammar,
			basing recursion on structure of the grammar
