Abstract
This paper presents an experience report from a third-year undergraduate compiler design course that is taught as part of a four
year computer science degree. We analyse data from a study of
practical assignments, evaluated in the context of take-home formative assignments and a supervised summative examination. We
implement metrics to quantify the degrees of similarity between
submissions for programming assignments, as well as measuring
the level of activity. We present the results of our study, and discuss
the utility of these metrics for our teaching practice.
