I've signed up for the class.  I'd have to check some notes to brush up on it
myself.  The first place I'd point people to is those same notes.

While any given example might or might not have unnecessary ones, most
of them are.  For example, where C-style languages might have "f(x)', LISP
uses "(f x)".  Similarly, instead of "a + b", you have "(+ a b)".

Skim http://www.cs.sfu.ca/CC/310/pwfong/Lisp/1/tutorial1.html for some
further basics.
