The CSE 3221 midterm test will be held at the following time and location (Please note that the location of the CSE 3221 midterm test is NOT BC215):
Time: Wednesday October 27, 2010, 17:30-19:00
Location: SC 303 (Stong College Room 303)
The Midterm Test will cover the following:
a) Chapters 1-5, and Sections 6.1-6.4 (up to and including the section on Synchronization Hardware) of Chapter 6 of the textbook “Operating System Concepts” 8th Edition.
b) The slides OS_ch1.pdf, OS_ch2.pdf, OS_ch3.pdf, OS_ch4.pdf, OS_ch5.pdf, the slides 6.1-6.15 of OS_ch6.pdf, (up to and including the slide on Bounded-waiting Mutual Exclusion with TestandSet()) - as well as all the material covered in the lectures up to and including the Monday Oct. 25, 2010 lecture.
It is possible that the Midterm Test may include true/false questions, questions that require short answers, questions that require calculations, questions that may require the drawing of diagrams, questions that require slightly longer answers, questions that may require the writing of short programs using pseudo C code similar to that used throughout the textbook, and other possible question formats.
- Please note that, in order to make sure that everyone in the class gets exactly the same information regarding the midterm and final exam, the instructor will not answer individual e-mail questions regarding what will be on and what will not be on the midterm and final exam, because that would not be fair to those students who do not receive such information. - If you have any questions related to the midterm or final exam, please ask such questions during the lectures.
