The emphasis of the course is on process management, but we will cover Parts 1 through 4 of Silberschatz along with the Linux and Windows 2000 case studies. Most of our specific examples will come from UNIX, and we will be covering most of chapters 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, and 12 of PUP as well as some of the project chapters.
Notification of final grades:
Unless otherwise stated, all assignments are due at the beginning of class on the due date. There will be a 10 percent penalty for assignments turned in after that time. Do not miss class to finish an assignment. Turn in what you have for partial credit. Assignments which are more than 12 hours late will not be accepted unless prior arrangements have been made.
You must keep copies of the source code for all assignments for this course at least until you receive the your final grade for the course. At any time during the semester you may be asked to demonstrate any of your programs.
You are to do the assignments without collaboration. You can ask me questions about any aspect of an assignment. General discussion with others on the system or on an approach to a problem is constructive and is okay. However, since your grade is based on your assignments, they must be your own work. Students who hand in programs or written assignments which are identical or nearly identical are cheating. Students may not work on the programming assignments together. This type of scholastic dishonesty usually results in immediate failure in the course and can lead to additional disciplinary action.
