Course Student Learning Objective Essay
Please respond to EACH question as it relates to the subsequent Course
Student Learning Objective (CSLO):
CSLO One:
Describe various operating system concepts as they are applied to memory,
process, filesystem and I/O device management
1a. Describe THOUGHTFULLY why it is important to know how to
describe various operating systems concepts as they are applied to
memory, process, file system and I/O device management. (At
least one paragraph)
1b. Describe THOUGHTFULLY how you learned to describe various
operating systems concepts as they are applied to memory,
process, file system and I/O device management. Give two (2)
examples from your personal experience of each learning process.
(At least one paragraph)
1c. Conclude with at least two WELL-DEVELOPED paragraphs on your
ORIGINAL personal insights about understanding of how to
describe various operating systems concepts as they are applied to
memory, process, file system and I/O device management.
CSLO Two:
Design and implement the concepts covered in the course in either an
existing open source operating system or an operating system simulation.
2a. Describe THOUGHTFULLY why it is important to be familiar with
how to design and implement the concepts covered in the course
in either an existing open source operating system or an operating
system simulation. (At least one paragraph)
2b. Describe THOUGHTFULLY how you became familiar with how to
design and implement the concepts covered in the course in either
an existing open source operating system or an operating system
simulation. Give two (2) examples from your personal experience
of each learning process. (At least one paragraph)
2c. Conclude with at least two WELL-DEVELOPED paragraphs on your
ORIGINAL personal insights about how to design and implement
the concepts covered in the course in either an existing open
source operating system or an operating system simulation.
CSLO Three:

the concepts that underlie Operating Systems. (At least one
paragraph)
3b. Describe THOUGHTFULLY the principles involved in Operating
Systems concept in general. Give two (2) examples from your
personal experience of each learning process. (At least one
paragraph)
3c. Conclude with at least two WELL-DEVELOPED paragraphs on your
ORIGINAL personal insights about the principles involved the
Operating Systems concept in general.
CSLO Four:
Discuss the algorithms and techniques used in Operating Systems (e.g.
scheduling, synchronization, file system organization, virtual memory, etc.).
4a. Describe THOUGHTFULLY the importance of the concept of
the algorithms and techniques used in Operating Systems. (At least
one paragraph)
4b. Describe THOUGHTFULLY how you learned to understand the
algorithms and techniques used in Operating Systems. Give two
(2) examples from your personal experience of each learning
process. (At least one paragraph)
4c. Conclude with at least two WELL-DEVELOPED paragraphs on your
ORIGINAL personal insights about the algorithms and techniques
used in Operating Systems.
CSLO Five:
Understand that the OS is a software system sharing many common
characteristics with the other applications that we are more familiar with.
5a. Describe THOUGHTFULLY the importance of knowing that the OS
is a software system sharing many common characteristics with
the other applications that we are more familiar with. (At least one
paragraph)
5b. Describe THOUGHTFULLY how you learned the OS is a software
system sharing many common characteristics with the other
applications that we are more familiar with. Give two (2) examples
from your personal experience of each learning process. (At least
one paragraph)
5c. Conclude with at least two WELL-DEVELOPED paragraphs on your
ORIGINAL personal insights about the OS is a software system
sharing many common characteristics with the other applications
