The CSE 3221 midterm test will be held at the following time and location:

Time: Monday October 28, 2013, 17:30-19:00

Location: Ross S205 (Ross South Room 205)

The Midterm Test will cover the following:

a) Chapters 1-5 of the textbook “Operating System Concepts” 9th Edition.

b) All the slides in OS_ch1.pdf, OS_ch2.pdf, OS_ch3.pdf, OS_ch4.pdf, and the slides from 5.1 to 5.32 in OS_ch5.pdf - as well as all the material covered in the lectures up to and including the Wednesday Oct. 23, 2013 lecture. Please make sure that you have the most up-to-date version of the lecture notes.

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.

Please note that the due date for submitting CSE3221 Assignment 2 has been extended to Wednesday November 6, 2013, 17:30.

All groups must schedule appointments with the Course TA, Navid Mohaghegh, for the evaluation of the assignment to take place on Wednesday November 6, 2013.
