You are not allowed to use code from other people participating in this course or code that has been submitted previously by somebody else.
A *getting started* code-base is provided, but you can also start from scratch.
During the lab, short QA sessions will be held.
You can work on your compiler in the meantime.
I'll be present for questions all the time, yet a big part of this course is to acquire the necessary knowledge yourself.
Please note that minor modifications may be made to the specification until 2 weeks before the final deadline.
Therefore, double check for modifications before submitting — Git provides you the diff anyway.
You may work together in teams of 1–3 people.
Teams may span across pro-seminar groups.
Teams may span across proseminar groups.
The proseminar takes place online [over at Twitch](https://www.twitch.tv/AlexWarhawk), attendance is not mandatory.
I recommend sending me snapshots of your code-base, I'll provide feedback on stream.
Please follow the submission guidelines.
### Programming Language

Go easy on external dependencies and obscure language extensions — yes, I'm looking at you, Haskell.
Code readability is paramount.
Using overly complex and cryptic concepts may negatively impact the evaluation process — again, looking at you, Haskell and your voodoo magic lenses.
### Evaluation System
I'll be using a virtualised, updated Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (64 bit) to examine your submissions.
From this you can infer the software versions I'll be using.
The submitted code has to compile and run on this system.
Using overly complex or cryptic concepts may negatively impact the evaluation process — again, looking at you, Haskell and your voodoo magic lenses.
## Grading
The final grade is computed as the weighted average of the final submission (80%) and the QA sessions (20%).
Both of these parts as well as the majority of QA session grades must be positive to pass this course.
The final grade is computed solely from the final submission.
Be sure to adhere to the specification, deviating from it (without giving proper reason) will negatively impact your grade.
See [Final Submission Evaluation Scheme](evaluation_scheme.md) for more details.
### Remote Seminar
While university grounds are locked down, no attendance is required and no QA sessions are held.
I'll stream during the regular seminar times [over at Twitch](https://www.twitch.tv/AlexWarhawk), feel free to tune in and ask questions.
Streams should be recorded by Twitch automatically and remain online for 14 days.
I recommend sending me snapshots of your code-base, I'll provide feedback while streaming.
See [Submission Guideline](submission.md).
## Contacting Me
If you have questions or want to know more about a certain topic, I am always glad to help.
You can contact me by email, just be sure to send it from your university account.
Please keep your email informal and include the course number in the subject.
Preferably use the following link.
Just message me on Discord if you need anything.
Alternatively, you can send me an email using the following link.

By now, this course is notorious for requiring a lot of effort.
The legends are true; I am indeed expecting a decent level of skill from all of you.
This is a master's course after all.
While I don't care whether you have officially finished your bachelor, you should only take this course if you are certain that you meet the prerequisites.
Otherwise, skip it for now and come back to it when you have acquired the necessary knowledge.

Since this course is very programming intensive, you need to be fluent in one of these languages.
If choose C and think strings are compared using `==` you'll have a very hard time.
For OS, if you think calling `exec` without `fork` while implementing a library is a good idea, maybe revisit the corresponding lecture would be a good idea.
