Course Assessment Methods
Homework
Homework/ assignment shall be designed to ensure that the students have the required knowledge to analyze and design control systems. Specifically, they will support the students’ progress in the project/Laboratory
Quizzes
Quizzes will be designed to test the students' understanding in the course and to assess various course outcomes
Examinations
The exam shall contain problems designed to test knowledge and comprehension, to analyze control systems, and/or to apply the engineering problem solving method.
Laboratory Work
The students will have hands-on experience in the design and analysis of shell scripts in Linux OS. They will learn how to implement different kinds of algorithms used in OS. The students will be assessed during each Lab session via Lab performance and Lab exams. N:B: Because of current pandemic situation, we might not be able to conduct laboratory works in our regular labs, instead we will have programming hands on and related assignments
Presentation
The students will have to give a presentation in group on different trending technologies in the field of operating systems.
