This is a Corona year. So everything is kind of fluid, I guess. Still, some basic information.

The course is based on the book Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces ) by Remzi H. Arpaci-Dusseau and Andrea C. Arpaci-Dusseau. Note the book is freely available, chapter by chapter, on the first linked site. A copy can be purchased for a very modest price, see the above link... There are several copies in the library.

Grading. 70% final exam, 30% assignments. The TA was, is, and hopefully will be, Tzvi Melamed.
