SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives: The objective of this course to give students a theoretical and practical understanding of the internal operation and programming interface of Unix and windows systems, assembly language programming, the practical use and application of C standard I/O library functions.
Course Content: Windows environment and tools; Unix environment and tools; C programming; assembly language programming; Unix system calls. This course employs the project-based learning approach. In this respect aside from the conventional content the course has a project-based learning component. The project based-learning component aims realising one or more projects designed for learning purposes involving the development of certain intermediary and final deliverables in a step-by-step mannerby the students individually or in project teams. The evaluation of the project-based learning component involves grading the project deliverables and the project works by the instructor and/or a jury.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are those describing the knowledge, skills and competencies that students are expected to achieve upon successful completion of the course. In this context, Course Learning Outcomes defined for this course unit are as follows:
Knowledge (Described as Theoritical and/or Factual Knowledge.)
  1) Know internal operation of a Windows system, windows environment and windows tools.
  2) Know the internal operation of a Unix system and command line interpreters.
Skills (Describe as Cognitive and/or Practical Skills.)
  1) Use programming interface to Unix system using system calls.
  2) Write assembly language programs.
  3) Design and write programs for simple system utilities
  4) Understand the role of concurrency in systems programming and write programs which generate, link and control multiple processes.
Competences (Described as "Ability of the learner to apply knowledge and skills autonomously with responsibility", "Learning to learn"," Communication and social" and "Field specific" competences.)

SECTION IV: TEACHING-LEARNING & ASSESMENT-EVALUATION METHODS OF THE COURSE

Teaching & Learning Methods of the Course

(All teaching and learning methods used at the university are managed systematically. Upon proposals of the programme units, they are assessed by the relevant academic boards and, if found appropriate, they are included among the university list. Programmes, then, choose the appropriate methods in line with their programme design from this list. Likewise, appropriate methods to be used for the course units can be chosen among those defined for the programme.)
