OBJECTIVES:
\n<\/strong>By the end of the course the students should be able to post-edit machine translation output and assess its quality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
\n<\/strong>The course deals with the following topics: the concept of translation quality; error classifications; post-editing vs. human translation revision; types of errors in MT output; levels of post-editing relative to translation purpose; post-editing guidelines; monolingual and bilingual post-editing; human and automatic MT quality assessment; pre-editing; integration of MT in CAT tools; MT and terminology; role of post-editing in professional translation practice; qualifications and competences required of post-editors; the impact of MT on translation theory and practice.<\/span><\/p>\n

MODE OF INSTRUCTION:
\n<\/strong>The coursework consists in practical tasks related to post-editing and MT quality assessment, as well as discussion of particular topics (see Week-to-week schedule). The course involves e-learning via\u00a0http:\/\/omega.ffzg.hr\/<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND ASSESSMENT:
\n<\/strong>Regular attendance, preparedness for class, active participation in class and in e-learning, regular submission of assignments.<\/span><\/p>\n

The final grade is based on continuous assessment of particular course elements (attendance, active participation in class and in e-learning, end-of-term paper).<\/span><\/p>\n

LEARNING OUTCOMES:
\n<\/strong>After completing the course the students will be able to post-edit MT output of different types of texts in various fields in line with the guidelines and instructions; pre-edit the text for MT; assess the quality of MT output; critically assess the translation process in which MT has been used as an integral part; cooperate with other translators, terminologists and field experts; critically assess the impact of MT on translation theory and practice.<\/span><\/p>\n
