I. COURSE CODE : COMS018
II. COURSE TITLE : OPERATING SYSTEM
III. PRE-REQUISITE : 4TH Year Standing
IV. CREDIT UNITS : 4 units
V. COURSE DESCRIPTION :
This course is designed for students to provide information about the concept and principles of an operating system. Topics include the
process and storage management, deadlocks, synchronization, interrupts, paging, segmentation, file systems, resource allocation, protection
and reliability, processor scheduling, and performance analysis. It also provides various activities including “hands-on”. At the end of the
course, students are expected to appreciate and gain knowledge about different operating systems.
VI. CORE VALUES
In the course of the study, the students should acquire the following values:
1. Manifest cooperative learning; sharing and integration of ideas among others;
2. Ensure a well-organized recording and reporting system;
3. Observe bioethical principles and the core values (love of God, caring, love of country, and of people);
4. Cultivate faith in Supreme Being and the practice self -control and to reinforce self-awareness and interpersonal relationship;
