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.
The oral exam is on Tuesday, May 31, 2016 in IMADA's seminar room.
The examination starts at 8:30 with this examination sequence. I will not promise that this is the final sequence, but I'll send email to everyone if it changes. It is not possible to calculate the exact examination time from the placement in the sequence, since students earlier on the list may not show up. Thus, students are expected to show up plenty early. In principle, all students who are taking the exam on a particular date are supposed to show up when the examination starts, i.e., at the time the first student is scheduled. This is partly because of the way external examiners are paid, which is by the number of students who show up for examination. For this particular exam, we do not expect any no-shows, but communicating with your fellow students in case someone does not show up is always a good idea.
For the content, the presentation can be of freely chosen topics from the project. However, it is important to choose at least some in-depth material that demonstrates knowledge and experience beyond the theoretical part of a compiler course.
The presentation is allowed to take 15, 20, and 25 minutes for groups of size 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and the examinator may stop the presentation if it goes beyond the 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 process. If questions are asked, the time limit will be adjusted to reflect this.
After this, examinator and censor will examinate each group member individually, asking questions related to the presentation, the report and code, and the topic in general. The starting point for the discussion of your code will be a transparency with code selected from the compiler you turned in.
The examination time will usually be around 15 minutes for the individual part, leading to an average total examination time of around 30 minutes per student.
