My background

I was a Statistics major in college and had taken a handful of introductory computer science classes. Yet most of my proficiency in programming came as a result of personal and professional practice.

What was it like?

There were close to ten students in the class, most of them professional software engineers from various tech companies. Many of the other students were, like me, never formally educated in computer science. Some were coding bootcamp graduates who now wanted to shore up their knowledge. Others were self-taught.

Projects and exercises

The practical component of this course consists of small tracing exercises to explore the design decisions of some modern operating systems.

Assumed knowledge

This course assumes strong programming abilities, and some familiarity with C. Students are advised to be familiar enough with C to say solve an exercise in K&R C without much outside assistance.
