All our classes required delivering some kind of working code, either at the end of semester, or throughout it.

It was also the class that introduced us to unit tests, by having the code delivered as C library, that the teacher would link against to run her tests.

They're now using Mooshak to upload and run the tests automatically. The algorithms class is now mostly taught in Java, though.

Do you also mean FCT/UNL? Interesting, I didn't knew about it.

Yeah, I attended it until a few years ago. They're also teaching OCaml and Prolog, but Java is the main language for algos, and for the AI class too. C is only now used for the Systems class.

Quite happy to see ML languages and Prolog still around.

Back when I was there, we used Caml Light.

Miss the campus. :)
