Student Learning Outcomes/Learning Objectives

  1. Course Description:  Study of the UNIX operating system including multi-user concepts, use of the vi editor, terminal emulation, basic UNIX commands, and script files. Topics include regular expressions, number systems and shell programming.

     

    Pre-requisite or Co-requisite:  One semester of programming or permission of the instructor

    1. Text:                      LINUX+ AND LPIC-1 Guide to Linux Certification  5TH Edition

                    BY:                         Jason W Eckert triOS College            ISBN-978-1-337-56979-8

                                                                                                                    LLF ISBN-978-1-337-68441-5                            

     

     

    Instructional Methodology: The course consists of lectures & lab exercises using Linux to provide practical application of skills.

    Course Rationale: This is a beginning course in UNIX (using LINUX). Basic commands, information, and labs prepare the student for using Linux and for further study and use of the operating system.

    Course Objectives/ Learning Outcomes: There are two: (1) To learn and apply basic information about UNIX using Linux.  (2) To learn and use the basic commands, vocabulary, operation, and utilities of Linux

     

    Students learn operating system usage & theory of an operating system commonly encountered on single-user microcomputers.  This course helps students develop a general knowledge of operating systems, usage, and program development using Linux.  Students learn and practice basic commands, regular expressions, the file system, shell and shell scripts.

     

    Grade Policy: Grade will be based on demonstration of attainment of knowledge and skills.

     

     

    Course/Class Policies:

     

    Academic Integrity: A student is expected to complete his own projects and tests. Students are responsible for observing the policy on academic integrity described in the Current ACC Student Handbook, under “Student Discipline Policy, Section C”.

     

    “Acts prohibited by the college for which discipline may be administered include scholastic dishonesty, including but not limited to cheating on an exam or quiz, plagiarizing, and unauthorized collaboration with another in preparing outside work.  Academic work submitted by students shall be the result of their own thought, research, or self-expression.  Academic work is defined as, but not limited to tests, quizzes, whether taken electronically or on paper; projects, either individual or group; classroom presentations, and homework”. 

     

    The penalty assessed will be in accordance with the current ACC Student Handbook policy. See http://www.austincc.edu/handbook/policies4.htm for more information.

     

    Incomplete: A student may receive a temporary grade of “I” (Incomplete) at the end of the semester only if ALL of the following conditions are satisfied:

     

  2. The student is unable to complete the course during the semester due to circumstances beyond his control.
  3. The student must have earned at least half of the grade points needed for a “C” by the end of the semester.
  4. The request for the grade must be made in person at the instructor’s office and necessary documents completed.
  5. To remove an “I”, the student must complete the course by two weeks before the end of the following semester.  Failure to do so will result in the grade automatically reverting to an “F”.
  6.  

    Freedom of Expression Policy: The College expects instructors and students to respect the right of others to express their views related to classroom discussions.

     

    Attendance / Withdrawal Policy: Students are expected to attend classes and will be held responsible for all material covered in class.  Regular attendance helps ensure satisfactory progress towards completion of the course. 

     

    It is the student’s responsibility to complete a Withdrawal Form in the Admissions Office if they wish to withdraw from this class.  The instructor may withdraw students from this class if their absences exceed 10% of the total number of class meetings.  It is not the responsibility of the instructor to withdraw the students from their class even though the instructor has the prerogative to do so under the above-listed circumstances.

     

    Students with Disabilities Policy: “Each ACC campus offers support services for students with documented physical or psychological disabilities.  Students with disabilities must request reasonable accommodations through the Office for Students with Disabilities on the campus where they expect to take the majority of their classes.  Students are encouraged to make this request three weeks before the start of the semester.  (Refer to the Current ACC Student Handbook)”
