    Course Syllabus

    Operating Systems

    Course Description

    Operating system is the software that supports a computer's basic functions, such as scheduling
    tasks, executing applications, and controlling peripherals.

    Specific topics covered include:

    ● Introduction to Operating Systems


    ● CPU Scheduling Concepts
    ● Concurrent Processes
    ● Memory Management

    Learning Outcomes
    Learners completing this course will be able to:

    ● Define the key components and terminologies in operating systems.


    ● Distinguish between threads and processes.
    ● Explain the mechanisms used in different OS components such as context switching,
    CPU scheduling, memory management and input output.
    ● Analyze the efficiency and execution times of algorithms related to CPU scheduling,
    memory management, process synchronization, and deadlock handling.

    Course Structure
    After reviewing the course materials for these objectives, you will have the opportunity to take
    ungraded practice quizzes. This is to make sure you have mastered the learning objectives.
    Once you have mastered all of the course learning objectives, you will be prepared to take the
    Final Exam. After passing the final exam with an 80% or better, you would have completed
    CSE 330: Operating Systems prerequisite for ASU's Master of Computer Science degree.

    Course Materials
    You do not need to purchase materials for this course. If you would like an additional resource,
    a textbook is suggested called Operating System Concepts, Silberschatz, Gagne, Galvin. [An
    older version of the textbook would work; you do not need the latest version.]

    Operating Systems Prerequisite (Non-credit version)


    Time Commitment Per Module

    ● Module 1 (2 hours)
    ● Module 2 (3 hours)
    ● Module 3 (2 hours)
    ● Module 4 (3 hours)
    ● 90 min for Final Exam

    Time estimates are based on content provided in the course; additional readings outside the
    course have not been factored in these time estimates.
