Project: The project involves turning a toy compiler into an (almost) real one. You will work in teams of 2. Each project milestone will be graded on correctness, coding style, and completeness of test cases. See assignment links for details.


Midterm

The midterm will take place in class on Oct 26th

Evaluation

  • Homework: 15%
  • Midterm: 15%
  • Final: 25%
  • Course project: 40%
  • Class participation: 5%
  • (relative weight tentative)

Late Policy

  • Each student has three late days to use over the course of the quarter, without penalty. Beyond that, 25% will be deducted from an assignment's grade for each calendar day it is late. Assignments are due at the start of class, unless otherwise noted. Late days are for you to use to manage unavoidable conflicts in your own schedule; excuses for late work beyond the three late days will not be accepted.
