Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Demonstration, Work-related activities
Learning outcomes
Students will familiarize themselves with basic theory of operating systems and will practice usage of the theory in the most common UNIX operating systems. They will gain basic practical experience with the Linux operating system.
Overview about operating system functions and its resources which are offered to programmers; ability to use these resources while programming.
Prerequisites
User knowledge of operating system, knowledge of the C programming language.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination, Home assignment evaluation

Actively attending seminars where selected topics will be practised. Students must solve some practical problems to gain points. These points will count during classification of the exam.
