COURSE OBJECTIVES Students must be able to: Set up event logging Manage logical volumes Redirect core dumps Manage network file systems Manage specialized file systems Use administrative tools Give access to administrative tools to special users Setup NIS Install the operating system remotely
STUDENT ACTIVITIES/INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES Assignments: There will be several assignments due at specific dates. Tests: There will be two tests in the class. Examinations: There will be a midterm exam and a final exam. Late assignments are discouraged and may attract point deductions or may not be accepted for grading. No incomplete grades will be given in this class. Poor attendance will result in a lower grade. If a student has a genuine reason for being late or absent, he/she is expected to notify the instructor ahead of time (before the date of absence or lateness). Failure to do this may prevent the student from making up a missed quiz or exams.
UNIVERSITY POLICIES Students whose names do not appear on the class list will not be permitted to participate (take exams or receive credit) in class without first showing proof of registration. Sexual harassment and other forms of discrimination are intolerable on campus. The following practices constitute academic dishonesty and will result in an automatic F grade. o Paper written by/for someone else o Identical assignments by different students o Using the same assignment for more than one course o Purchasing, stealing, or borrowing the academic work of another
