On this page, you can track the course's development over time. Once the course analysis is published, data for each course offering is displayed, including the number of registered students, course results, and planned improvements for the next session. All course syllabuses and course memos are shown on the page Archive.

The information can help prospective, current, and former students with course selection, or to follow up on their own participation. Teachers, course coordinators, examiners, program directors, and others can use the page as a resource for course development.

Changes introduced for this course offering
The main change implemented since the previous course offering (Spring 2018) consists of new lectures on advanced topics including semantics of object-oriented languages (Featherweight Java) and low-level languages (WebAssembly). The goal of this change was to enable students to transfer core concepts of programming languages to real-world languages. These new topics could then be chosen by the students for the essay.
