  • Learning Outcomes
    Course Learning Outcomes
    Through the study of this course, students will gain a comprehensive understanding on the concepts
    and functions of a modern operating system. Students will be able to;
     
    1 Explain the role of the operating system as a high level interface to the hardware.
    2 Use OS as a resource manager that supports multiprogramming
    3 Explain the low level implementation of CPU dispatch.
    4 Explain the low level implementation of memory management.
    5 Explain the performance trade-offs inherent in OS implementation

     
    The above course learning outcomes are aligned with the Engineers 最新糖心Vlog .
    The course is designed to develop the following Elements of Competency: 1.1   1.2   1.3   1.4   1.5   1.6   2.1   2.2   2.3   3.1   3.2   3.3   3.4   3.5   3.6

    Required Resources
    The textbook for this course is  (10th edition) by A. Silberschatz, P. B. Galvin and G. Gagne,, John Wiley& Sons, 2018.
    Recommended Resources
    Additional resources:
    • R. H. Arpaci-Dusseau and A. Arpaci-Dusseau, Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces,  
    • A.S. Tanenbaum, Modern Operating Systems, Prentice-Hall International, 2008.
    Online Learning
  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    The course includes lectures, tutorials, and multiple types of assessment, including quizzes and a coding task. Different learnining and assessment modes are intended to support both solid theoretical understanding and practical (programming) skills in relation to key OS concepts.
    Workload

    The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

    On average, students are expect to spend around 12 hours a week on this course, including lectures, tutorials, and doing the required tasks. The assignments for this course are challenging, and the amount of time students need to spend on these will depend on the level of understanding of subject content, and partially on programming skills.
    Learning Activities Summary
    Lectures will be pre-recorded. Some lecture videos contain questions, and students are invited to pause the video at these points and take time to think about the question.

    Tutorials will provide an environment for working on problems in small groups.

    Assessments include multiple types of activities, including answering multiple choice questions, answering open-ended questions, and writing code in C++.
  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Summary

    No information currently available.

    Assessment Detail
    Assessment Component weight, %
    Weekly quizzes 15
    Tutorials 5
    Assignments 35
    Mid-semester Test 20
    Final Exam (hurdle) 30

    Notes
    1. The hurdle requirement means that you will fail the course if you get less than 40% of the maximum exam mark for the Final Exam, irrespective of your marks for other components.
    2. The total mark will be capped at 100.



    Submission
    Submission instructions will be provided with each assignment. Typically, this would involve answering questions or submitting files in MyUni.

    If you hand in your work late, your mark will be capped as follows:

    Up to 1 day late – mark capped at 75%
    Up to 2 days late – mark capped at 50%
    Up to 3 days late – mark capped at 25%
    more than 3 days late – no marks available.

    Extensions will only be given in exceptional circumstances and with evidence provided, e.g., a medical certificate. You should apply by e-mail to the course coordinator before the due date. Commitments with work or other subjects will not be considered valid grounds for extension – you are expected to manage your time effectively based on the workload you have chosen to take on.
    Course Grading

    Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:

    M10 (Coursework Mark Scheme)
    Grade Mark Description

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
