[Aos] The scope for TEST 1

[Michael Mchunu]

Hi All

As you know, your TEST 1 is on FRIDAY 16-08-13. It will be based on the following:


  1.  Tutorial and Lab Work (FSP and Programming)

          For the FSP part, go through the material we have done so far, which is:

              --->  LECTURE 2 – Processes & Threads (Lecture 2 Blue Booklet & Chapter 2 of the Magee & Kramer Textbook (just to ``brush up’’))
              --->  LECTURE 3 – Concurrent Execution (Lecture 3 Pink Booklet & Chapter 3 of the Magee & Kramer Textbook ( just to ``brush up’’))
              --->  CHAPTER 1 (Laboratory 1) – Exception Handling


   2.   Distributed Systems Lecture Material

          Here is what you need to read here:

              --->  LECTURE 1 – Introduction (Pink Booklet and Green handwritten notes. ALSO do some ``brush up’’ and read CHAPTER 1 of textbook by Tanenbaum
                                             & Van Steen, of which there are 5 copies distributed in class).

              --->  LECTURE 2 – Architectures (Do some ``brush up’’ and read CHAPTER 2 of textbook by Tanenbaum. Lecture 2 slides to be distributed later).


Here is how all of the above content will be used to set the questions (consider this as a guide):

    1. SECTION 1 : Definition of terms  ------------------------------------> (5 Marks)
    2.  SECTION 2: Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) ---------------> (20-30 Marks)
    3.  SECTION 3: Fill in the blanks (complete the sentence) ------> (5 Marks)
    4. SECTION 4: Matching (terms and concepts) ---------------------> (10 Marks)
    5.  SECTION 5: FSP Questions & FSP Modeling ---------------------> (20 Marks)
    6.  SECTION 6: DS Questions--------------------------------------------> (30 Marks)

This is how, roughly, your TEST 1 Questions will ``look’’ like.


Start reading (in a FOCUSED and DISCIPLINED way). You ALL should be able to pass.

Cheers for now.

Mike
