Teacher's information

Student requirements: active participation in seminars. Evaluation methods: continuous test (week 13, questions from the theory and control of operating systems). Exam (proving practical knowledge of operating systems with an overlap in the configuration of selected applications such as a www server or Domain Name System). A student can get 14 points from the intermediate test, 7 points for the activity and 14 points from the exam. To successfully complete the course, the student must obtain at least 21 points, and a total of 35 points can be obtained.
