Just go to the cs.nyu.edu site
then Education - Courses- Course Archive
and for instance go to Fall 2003 Programming Languages G22.2110-001

Another note here. One assignment I have found works well is to tell
people to design a package spec that does useful things for something
they know about, and I give a bunch of examples.

They hand in the spec on its own

Then I tell them to write a body for it and a test driver. Quite
often they find out at that stage that they have missing stuff
(e.g. no constructors), and they have to document what they needed
to change in the spec and why.
