| Appeal procedure | For some reason I have been asked about the appeal procedure several times. We have published the explanation about the appeal procedure the day we have published Moed A grades. You should see GR website (near the grades).
In order to be sure that everybody saw it I will paste it here:
Please submit appeals to Leonid's box on the fifth floor, by August 2nd (please do so earlier, if you can).
Enclose a formal appeal form, and a copy of the *full* exam.
Several notes:
1. I have already received an appeal with part of the exam missing. Such an appeal will be automatically rejected.
2. We will not receive any appeal after 02.08. Even if your appeal was rejected due to a technical issues (see 1).
3. For the appeales we will recheck the whole exam. Pay attention that the grade me be decreased because of it. Therefore, before submitting an appeal:
a. make sure that you will not loose points in other exam parts (in general we gave some points even for a partial answer. That may not be the case in the appeal).
b. you are advised to consult with Leonid before appealing.
Best,
Staff

| Exams from previous semesters and some useful information | First of all, the exam will be with open material.
I have uploaded achieve with 20 solved exams from previous semesters (see Material section).
There are 2 videos (http://video.technion.ac.il/Courses/OPSYS_Q.html) where I solve some questions from the exams. On the course site you can find the power point presentations that are used in the videos.
In addition we will hold special reception hours before the exam. The exact time and location will be announced later.
The last thing, if you have a question that you want to ask you can also do it using the email. Please DO NOT use our personal emails. You should use ONLY the course email (cs234120cs.technion.ac.il). If you are writing in Hebrew please write your email in Word and attach the file to your email. If you are asking something regarding any question from an exam from previous years please attach the whole question to the email. |

However, we will give a reduced penalty for the late submission of the assignment: if you submit a hw at most 3 days after the deadline you will receive only 2 points penalty for each day. After 3 days you will receive a 5 pts penalty for each day. |

| Preliminary Assignment has been published | A preliminary assignment has been published in the homework section.
Although this assignment is not for submission, you are recommended to finish it until 25.03. The assignment will prepare you for working with VMware, and it includes important details that you will need for performing the next assignments in the course.
The "VMware project" (including Linux OS) CD can be found in the CS library (s.n.2265711). The project that is on CD is for VMware station (which is not free software). If you don't have VMware station, you can download the VMware player 2 from WMware Inc website. More details about VMware can be found in the FAQ section on the website.
Assignments in the course should be submitted in groups of 3, and we encourage you to form the groups now, and not wait for the first (real) assignment. You can use the "Find a partner" section in the website for this cause.
Please pay attention that when you are installing VMware on the PC that is connected to the network from dormitories you should read carefully (VERY carefully) how to install it and to make all the needed configuration changes for the networking (see the last page of the assignment). If you don't do it the right way you PC will act as if it is DHCP server. That will prevent you and other students to connect to the network. |

| Leonid's tutorial 1 second hour (video) | | We have received several complains that the video of the second hour of Leonid's first tutorial is missing. I have contacted the filming crew and they told me that the video will be available no later then tomorrow morning. However, we want to remind you that the video is a helping material, and should not substitute the physical participation in the tutorials on the regular basis. |

| A lecture and 2 tutorial groups have been added | Dear students.
The course site (spring semester) has been opened. The only reason why this has been done so early is in order to announce you that a lecture and 2 tutorial groups have been added. In total we have now 2 lecture groups and 5 tutorial groups.
The information regarding lecturers and TAs (hours and locations of the lecture/tutorial) is now available on the 'Staff' section in the course website.
Any other important information regarding the course will be announced later (close to the beginning of the semester).
Good luck with your exams.
