In Fall of 2022, I followed Pete J. Dobbins to his next course and TA’ed for COP4020. In this course, the students’ primary responsibility is to implement a programming language of the instructor’s design, although there are also exams. While I took the course in the Spring semester of that year, I discovered my love of programming language design, so moving to it with my supervisor felt like a natural move.

Advising Students

Office hours in this course were dedicating to advising students about their keystone project.

Debugging Students’ Code

In this course’s office hours, TAs helped students debug the keystone project code if their issues were not relevant to student learning. I helped students debug issues that mostly had to do with misunderstanding the Java programming language used in this project.
