Office hours are posted weekly on the bulletin board outside my office.
Additional hours can be scheduled by appointment.
If you wish, you may reserve a half hour meeting by signing up on the weekly
schedule.
William Stallings,
Operating Systems: Internals and Design Principles,
Third Edition, Prentice Hall, 1998, ISBN: 0-13-887407-7.
In addition, a reference book on the C programming language may be of
interest. While many such books exist, students might want to consider one
or both of the following standard references:
Samuel P. Harbison and Guy L. Steele, C: A Reference Manual, Fourth
Edition, Prentice Hall, ISBN: 0-13-326224-3, 1994.
Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie, The C Programming Language:
ANSI C Version, Second Edition, Prentice Hall, ISBN: 0-13-110362-8, 1988.
This course will involve laboratories, written
assignments, programs, oral presentations, and tests.
Late Penalty: Work is due at the start of class on the date
specified in the assignment. A penalty of 33 1/3 % per class meeting
will be assessed on any work turned in late, even work submitted at
the end of a class. Thus, work turned in 4 days late will be weighted
-33 1/3 %; since a negative score reduces a semester total, it is better
not to turn the work in at all.
Absolute Deadline: All homework must be turned in
by Friday, December 11 at 5:00 pm. 
Exception: Deadlines for programming problems and laboratory
exercises are automatically extended at least one class day if the HP
network is down for an unscheduled period of 3 or more hours during the
week preceding the assignment due date. (In such cases, however,
deadlines for written assignments are not extended.)
