Hi Prof. Assaf,

  

Concerning the issue of implementation vs. conceptual work in CS520, then I think that implementation is important for deep understanding. So I would rather if the course has implementation work, on the other hand not such work that will consume all of our time. I think the best would be small assignment to give us the feel of few of the ideas. Furthermore, giving a degree of flexibility in choosing the language is an excellent idea, and I can only suggest making it simpler for you by defining a set of languages from which we can choose.

 

Thank you and best regards,

 Yarom.
