CPSC 457: Operating Systems

Professor Carey Williamson

Fall 2008

Teaching Assistants

The Teaching Assistants (TAs) assigned for CPSC 457 are David Aikema, David Ma, and Soha Makady. The TAs will handle regular weekly tutorial sessions for CPSC 457, as well as the grading of CPSC 457 assignments (but not exams).

The weekly tutorial sessions will provide supplementary material to augment the lectures in CPSC 457. Some tutorials will cover new material that does not fit within the lecture time slots available (e.g., history of Unix, computer system security). Some tutorials will present additional examples to reinforce the concepts and principles covered in lectures (e.g., Multics, Windows, OS/360). Some tutorials will provide specific assistance with assignments (e.g., UML, kernel system calls) and study tips in preparation for exams. Other tutorials will cover more general topics such as Unix shell programming, C programming skills, and kernel debugging tips.

Attendance at CPSC 457 tutorials is highly encouraged!
