If you wish to have accomodations made for some disability, you must inform Eduational Access Services at 248-1826 and the instructor in advance.

Your grade will be reflected in three parts, each of equal weight. One part will be on the operating system concepts from the textbook. One part will come from smaller projects during the course, and a final part will be from a self-directed in-depth final project.

Projects will be graded on an A, B, or F basis:

• A: Well written and documented, with more bells and whistles than required for the project. Testing procedures must be included with the project.
• B: Works correctly. Reasonably written. Reasonably documented. Reasonably tested.
• F: Fails to work. Poorly written, documented, or tested.

You must propose your final project content. At most two people can work on a given project, and the grade will reflect individual contributions to the project. The final project will include a written and oral presentation.
