Comment :
One of the worst courses I\'ve taken. Class material was dry, midterm was not too bad. The assignments (C coding) were where the course really suffered. The prof had no idea what the assignments were, and the TAs werent much help. Only the last assignment with memory scheduling made any sense. They werent very hard, the issue was just figuring out what you were actually supposed to do. Since the prof didnt create the assignments, he didnt do enough code examples in class. Make sure to do well on the tests and final.

Course material is more esoteric and more practical than CIS*2030. Understanding the material can be helpful in some fields. Assignments are small but complex.

This course is an interesting course that teaches about the operating system and how to simulate it. The course was not taught in the best manner however the assignments helped me understand more about the operating system and how it functions.
