1 Introduction to the Course

1.1 Importance of the course

An Operating Systems(OS) is an important software that runs on a computer. It manages the
the computer memory and different processes. Most of the time there are several different
computer programs running at the same time and they all need to access your computer’s
central processing unit, memory and storage. The operating system coordinates all of this to
make sure each programs get what it needs. OS is most often pre-loaded on any computer.
1.2 Objective of the Course
To present an introduction to Operating Systems, with an emphasis on the policies for
scheduling, deadlocks, memory management, synchronization, system calls, and file
systems.

1.3 Pre-requisite
Computer Organization & Architecture, Programming for Problem
Solving.

2 Course Outcomes (CO) and mapping with Program Outcomes (PO)

Course Policy Operating Systems

Outline for preliminary study to be done for each unit will be provided prior to
commencement of each unit. Preliminary study material (video links, presentation, notes etc)
will be made available on the student portal. Students are expected to go through this material
before attending the upcoming session. It is expected that the students put in at least two hours
of self-study for every one hour of classroom teaching. During the lecture session, more
emphasis will be given on in-depth topics, practical applications and doubt solving.

6.2 Assessment Policy for Internal Continuous Assessment (ICA)

Assessment of ICA comprises of the following components.

1. Class test 1 and 2

a. Two class tests will be conducted as per the academic calendar.

b. It may be conducted online/ offline for 20 marks each

2. Lab performance evaluation (20 marks)

a. Lab experiments (10 marks)

i. Continuous assessment for laboratory experiments will be conducted.
There are 10 practicals, each carrying weightage of 10 marks. At the end
of the course, average of total marks will be taken to obtain marks out
of 10.
ii. Discussion of your work with your peers is allowed. However each
student is expected to submit his/her original work. Submissions which
are very similar will be marked zero. Assessment of the lab work will
be carried out based on parameters like timely completion of lab work
file, understanding of the experiment performed, originality in the work,
involvement of the student, regularity, discipline etc. during the session.
There is a 30% penalty on late submission.

3. Lab test and viva (20 marks) - Lab test will be conducted based on the concepts
learnt. Viva will be based on the lab conducted.

4. Presentation beyond syllabus on advanced topic (20 marks)

a. Faculty will make group of 2-3 students
b. Identify an advanced research topic based on some topic relevant to the course
c. Get the topic approval
d. Student Prepares PPT and presents it before the faculty. The assessment will be
based on the level of Student understanding about the concept, preparation of
Content and presentation.

5. Class Participation (10 marks) - The faculty will ask some questions in every
class based on the content being taught. The question could be asked to a chosen
student or a student group (which is formed at the beginning of the semester).
One mark can be given to the correct answer. The idea is to encourage students
to pay attention in class and actively participate. These marks will be added in
ICA class participation component.

*Only a sample of the ICA components is given above. Faculty can write the details of their own ICA
components. For example, first year students may be given only a group based presentation instead of
implementation.

6.3 Assessment Policy for Term End Examination (TEE)

A written examination of 100 marks for_______________ duration will be conducted for the
course as per the academic calendar.

7 Teaching-learning methodology
Faculty will make a group of 2-3 students for any group based activity such as class
participation, project, presentation etc. Lecture and Tutorial session will be conducted as
follows-
1. Lectures:
o Outline for preliminary study to be done for each unit will be provided prior to
commencement of each unit.
o Deeper concepts and applications will be explained through Presentation and
Video Lectures.
o Numerical problems based on concept will be solved during the session on
smart board or MS OneNote.

2. Tutorial:
o The tutorial activity is aligned with the class room session.
o The tutorial activity is planned in such away so as to understand the deeper
concept of the theory sessions.
o The discussion with students and questioning the students will be done during
the session to understand the student’s level of understanding.
o The submissions will be evaluated regularly and the feedback will be submitted
to the students.

*Details of teaching learning methodology can be bespoke for every subject/every faculty.

10. Active learning techniques

Page 9 of 11
Course Policy Operating Systems

Active learning is a method of learning in which students are actively or experientially

involved in the learning process. Following active learning techniques will be adopted
for the course.
1. Muddiest topic: Faculty will find out the least understood point/topic in the session. This
topic is then further explained to ensure that it is understood well.
2. Blended Learning: Students will be introduced to the topic at home while the in-depth
topics, applications and numerical problems will be discussed by the faculty in the lecture
session. Outline for preliminary study to be done for each unit will be provided prior to
commencement of each unit. Preliminary study material (video links, presentation, notes
etc) will be made available on the student portal.
3. Frame a question: Student will be asked to design and frame their own questions
pertaining to the topic being taught. The idea is to stimulate students’ curiosity, engage the
students in collaborative teaching and learning, and motivating students to develop deeper
understating of the topic.
o Frame questions for each unit of the course: At the beginning of each using, the
faculty will create a new page in OneNote Class Notebook in collaborative
section where every student will post his/her question.
o Frame a question in lab: As discussed in section 6.2, student will be asked to
design one unique lab problem based on the course syllabus.

*Only some examples of the Active Learning Techniques are given above. Faculty member may include
or remove the technique as per their course. Some other active learning techniques are Case study based
discussion, Think-Pair-Share, Role play etc.

11. Course Material

Following course material is uploaded on the student portal: (give student portal link)
 Course Policy
 Lecture Notes
 Lecture Videos
 Lecture Presentations
 Books / Reference Books / NPTEL video lectures link
 Lab Handouts
 List of Program Outcomes

12. Course Outcome Attainment

Following means will be used to assess attainment of course learning outcomes.

 Use of formal evaluation components of continuous evaluation, assignments, tutorial
submissions, semester end examination
 Informal feedback during course conduction

13. Academic Integrity Statement

Page 10 of 11
Course Policy Operating Systems

Students are expected to carry out assigned work under Internal Continuous
Assessment (ICA) independently. Copying in any form is not acceptable and will invite
strict disciplinary action. Evaluation of corresponding component will be affected
proportionately in such cases. Plagiarism detection software will be used to check
plagiarism wherever applicable. Academic integrity is expected from students in all
components of course assessment.
