Exam

Deadlines for the various parts will be given on the project page.

More information will follow and many of the questions you may have will be answered on this page later.

Supplementary questions of general interest in connection with the exam will be answered via the project home page.

Normal procedure for the exam

First, the student gives a short presentation of a freely chosen topic from the project. It is important to choose at least some in-depth material that demonstrates that the student has participated in the project and therefore has knowledge and experience beyond the theoretical part of a compiler course.

The presentation can take up to 10 minutes and the examinator may stop the presentation if it goes beyond this time limit. Examinator and censor will generally try to avoid asking questions during this part of the exam, unless they judge that asking a question will benefit the student. If questions are asked, the time limit will be adjusted to reflect this.

The presentation should be given using the blackboard. In addition, transparencies are allowed if the student wants to discuss elements of a larger example, where it would be too time-consuming to write the example on the blackboard. The student may bring a list of about 10 keywords in order to remember which topics to cover.

After this, examinator and censor will ask questions related to the presentation, the report and code, and the topic in general.

The total examination time will usually be about 25 minutes.
