Make-up class on either Oct 8 or 9

Due to a business trip of the instructor, a make-up class is planned on either Oct 8 or 9.

The instructor will explain on this at the first class on Oct 1.

OS Tentative Syllabus

A tentative Syllabus for the OS course has been linked from the course page. As its name says, it is still tentative and may be changed later.

OS Textbook Information

The University Bookstore accepts orders for the operating systems course textbook. Since import books are non-refundable, they only pre-ordered ten copies. If you miss these pre-ordered copies, you will have to wait for about a month to receive your textbook.

Amendments to rules and policies possible

From this year, (for the section I teach), the Operating Systems course has been downgraded from a 3rd-year course to a 2nd-year course (personally, this decision does not make sense and is inappropriate). As a result, we plan to make changes to the rules and policies for the course. When the changes are made, they will be announced on this board.
