Your Course ID for Operating Systems

If you are taking my Operating Systems course, you must have received email titled "Operating Systems ID" in which a number is written (and nothing else). We are going to use this number for posting your Exercise grades. If you are taking the Operating Systems course but did not receive the email, first check your spam folder. If you are confident that the message was not filtered as spam, please contact the instructor.

OS Next Week

Next week, we will cover Section 2.2 "Threads." This section is your reading assignment.

We understand that some students tried hard, but could not finish today's exercise problem. While the deadline is not extended, it is still worth trying to finish it for yourself as about half of the exercise problems will be programming (in C). There *may* be chances of extra credit in the future.

Some (or most ?) of students need to review the materials of the courses in the last year (such as Introduction to Computer Systems, or C programming).
