Teaching and Learning Methodology
The teaching methodology will include classroom lectures. A mid-term of 2 hours, 4
assignments and 4 quizzes will be integral part of the learning process. The number of quizzes
may be swapped with homework assignments depending upon how well the students make
progress in the class. Laboratory assignments of process/thread synchronization, process
communication, and file systems are given.
Materials and Supplies
