LEARNING AND TEACHING METHODS
The subject involves two 1-hour lectures per week followed by a 1-hour tuorial. Weekly tutorial problems are assigned and discussed in class. The programming project is pivotal, as the subject relies heavily on learning-by-doing. Students work in small groups to implement a compiler for a non-trivial programming language. The project is staged, allowing for review and feedback throughout, including student peer review activity. In-plenum discussion of the project is allowed, and encouraged.
INDICATIVE KEY LEARNING RESOURCES
The subject uses online reading materials and an online discussion forum. It offers advance access to teaching materials, including slides used in lectures.
CAREERS / INDUSTRY LINKS
An understanding of program translation techniques, including parsing technologies, is essential in software engineering and software development and maintenance.
