OS Re: Textbook

Dear students taking my OS course. In the previous article , we reported that the publisher will send us first two chapters of the textbook, but what we actually received was just Chapter 1. There also have been other issues related to the communication between us and the publisher and the bookstore. We hope to settle down this issue as soon as possible, you receive your own copy of the textbook, and review and prepare for the OS class using the textbook. If you have any question, or problem, please consult with the instructor.

OS Grade Reference ID

Each student registered for the Operating Systems class must have received email with subject "OS13 ID. Please keep this number." The message body of the email has a number by which you should be able to look up your exercise and exam grading (when they are available). If you are registered with the class but did not receive the email, please contact the instructor ASAP.

OS No class next week and course overview slides

According to the Academic Calendar , the course schedule of October 9 (Wednesday) will be that of Friday. Therefore, there will be no OS class next week.

The revised course overview slides are posted at this page .

Thus far, we have not got any new information regarding the textbook. When we hear any, it will be posted on this page.

OS Textbook

As a temporary solution for the late delivery of the textbook, the publisher may send us first two chapters (separate from the book order you placed already). When the details are set, we will notify you again.

OS Textbook order

A claim regarding late delivery has been sent to the University Bookstore . Hope you should receive your copy soon.

OS home page and (tentative) syllabus

The home page and the syllabus for my section of the Operating Systems are available. Those who will take my course should read them and prepare for the course which begins on October 2.

The University Bookstore ordered only ten (10) copies of the textbook (this is not a decision of the instructor, but of the bookstore). If you cannot get one of these, you may have to wait for several weeks to receive your copy.

If you have any question, please send me email.
