COMP 520 Compiler Design
Teaching Assistant, McGill University, School of Computer Science, 2021
During the Winter 2021 term, I TAed for the first time for COMP 520 Software Design. COMP 520 at McGill evaluated students entirely based on their coursework, which consisted of a sequence of assignments that eventually result in a complete compiler for a subset of the C programming language.
My responsibilities as a TA were to hold frequent office hours, update the auto-marker used to grade students’ assignments, and preside over demo sessions. Demo sessions were primarily designed to verify that students had a good understanding of how their solutions worked.
