EECE.4810/EECE.5730: Operating Systems
Instructor: Dr. Michael Geiger
Spring 2020
Course Schedule THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION
This schedule contains a tentative schedule of topics we will cover throughout the term; this schedule is subject to change. As the semester progresses, I will update the schedule to show the actual dates on which we cover material, as well as provide links to the lecture slides and assignments. I will also provide sections from the recommended textbooks related to each lecture.
Exams: The exam dates will be determined shortly. The first two exam dates will be based on the results of the poll found at this link, while the third exam will be during finals, at a day and time to be determined by the registrar's office.
Lecture Recordings: Echo360 recordings are available from https://echo360.org/. Select "Log in via Institution," choose "University of Massachusetts-Lowell" from the drop-down list, then log in with your UML e-mail address and password. You will then be able to view lecture recordings from all courses in which you are enrolled, including this one. Recordings are also available on the course Blackboard site.
