After completing the course:
- You can explain the concepts of processes & threads as used in modern operating systems.
- You can explain the basic principles of concurrency, and describe commonly used synchronisation primitives.
- You are able to solve simple synchronisation problems and to establish the correctness of your solution.
- You can explain the basic concepts and algorithms for memory management and virtual memory.
- You can explain and apply basic algorithms for solving scheduling problems.

To pass this course, you need to complete (1) three practical assignments (in groups), and (2) the weekly exercises. Furthermore, you need to hand in at least 6 out of the 7 weekly exercises in a satisfactory way (made a serious attempt). The weekly exercises (best 6 out of 7) count for 10% of the final mark, while the three practical assignments together account for 90%. The first assignment weights in for 40% of the final mark, the other two assignments both contribute 25% of the final mark.
