General
Course home page contains general information on this course, like contents for earlier courses, course area for separate exam and earlier exams.
This course was given the first time on Spring 2013 as 6 cr course. We have supplemented the earlier 4 cr course (582640) with material on concurrency control, embedded operating systems, and distributed operating systems. You can use the old exams for the previous course as representative examples, but please keep in mind that the new course has wider learning goals.
Course IRC-channel is #tkt-os.
Notices and Remarks
All noticies during the lecture course will be published here. 
16.5.2014 Course term exam grading is complete, as well as the grading for the whole course. You can see your points for term exam questions in the course bookkeeping ("Koe 5-8"). Exam grading guidelines are in the intranet. If you want to check the exam/course grading, please contact me via email. The exam is filed already with other previous exams. If you missed this exam, the makeup exam is the separate exam (final exam, erilliskoe) in June. The June separate exam works also as the makeup exam for either the midterm exam or the term exam, but not for both of them.
19.3.2014 Passive students (e.g., not in exam and participating only the1st practice session) have been removed from visible class roster. If this was a mistake for you, please contact the lecturer.
10.3.2014 Course midterm grading is complete. Grading guidelines are in the intranet. You check your own grading on Tuesday 18.3.2014 at 10:15-11:00 (D220), or on some other time as agreed with email discussion. The exam is filed already with other previous exams. If you missed this exam, the makeup exam is the separate exam in June. The June separate exam works also as the makeup exam for either the midterm exam or the term exam, but not for both of them.
24.2.2014 Midterm exam is on Wednesday 26.2.2014 at 09:00 (A111 and B123). Exam time is 2.5 hours. Take four concept sheets, answer each question to its own sheet, and please return each answer to appropriate answer sheet pile. Thank you.

28.11.2013 I recommend that you obtain the text book and use it extensively for self study during the course. Please read the given chapters from the text book before trying out the homework problems. After that you could browse through the lecture slides (in English) and try to figure it the meaning on each slide. It might be useful, if you could find a buddy or two to study together, I.e., you could consider forming study circles for this course. We can discuss this more during the opening lecture in English.
28.11.2013 The course has no compulsory requirements. However, you should know the basics of computer organization in advance.
28.11.2013 The course is strongly based on the text book (Stallings, 7th ed). I recommend obtaining the text book for your use before the course begins.
28.11.2013 Web information development for this lecture course begins.
Completing the course
