Course Overview

CS 4411 - Operating Systems Practicum

This is the project course for CS 4410. Students will learn about operating systems concepts through several bi-weekly assignments. Concepts covered include threading, synchronization, filesystems and networking. The projects will provide a hands-on experience with implementing operating system functionality, as well as low level programming with C.

Prerequisites: In order to enroll in CS 4411, you must have either successfully completed CS 4410 or be currently enrolled in CS 4410. If you are erolled in 4411 and not co-enrolled in 4410, be prepared to provide us with the year, semester, and final grade in which you took CS 4410.

Audit: Auditing CS 4411 is not an option. There are too few benefits to spectating in a practicum.
