Welcome to CS 344 Operating Systems I. We hope you have a great time learning operating system concepts and putting them in practice in this class!

Getting Started

Read the Syllabus and complete the Syllabus Quiz.
Note the due dates of the assignments in the schedule.
Review the communication policy in the tab "Where to go for Help" in the Syllabus.
Work through all of the weekly materials (modules) and come to office hours if you need help.
Start the assignments as soon as they are assigned.

The office hours master schedule is on a shared google calendar. Instructional staff will keep the calendar updated as the term progresses, and last-minute cancellations or modifications will be announced on Teams. Generally we try to maintain the same regular schedule each week.
Office Hours are held over Teams. Zoom may be utilized for video conferencing.
Office hours will not be held during Finals Week, or on days that the University is closed.
TAs may be speaking to several other students and aren't always available for synchronous communication. Replies may be significantly delayed during busy office hours, and you should put as much information up-front as possible! Avoid opening a conversation with things like, "Hi, can I ask a question?"
