This course is the continuation of Operating System I. It is offered by both Computer Science and MIS students in the second semester of their second.
Overview: CSC225 introduces the students to some more advanced aspects of operating system. A major module of the course is memory management which is
one of the major operation carried out by the operating system
• To sit for the examination, 75% Attendance is required. • Assignments must be submitted as at when due. • Contribution to group discussion and
Rules:
class work is mandatory. • Lateness to lecture is not allowed for whatever reason
Alignment with Operating Systems concept provides the platform upon which every computer system runs. The students are taught the concepts and components of
Covenant operating systems and the intermediary role it plays between a computer user and application software. The students are taught practically on how to
University configure and manage computer operating system as a facilitator towards pursing the Covenant University philosophy of departing from form to skill
Vision / Goals: and knowledge to empowerment.
Comtemporary Most organizations require IT support services provided by competent IT personnel with an understanding of the operating platform upon which the
Issues/Industry computer system runs. Therefore, the ability to install, configure and manage an operating system is a major requirement by organizations in engaging
Relevant Skills: operating system administrator.

Course Objectives Learning Outcomes

- introduce students to more advanced aspects of operating system like memory
At the end of the course, students should be able to:
management, virtual memory, etc.
- study sample operating system e.g Windows 7 as case study to further improve knowledge of main memory management techniques like segmentation an paging
their understanding of operating system concepts. improved knowledge of basic operating system concepts
