Attendance is required, whether you are officially enrolled or petitioning to add this course. Between 11:00- 11:15 on the first day of classes, we will give an online quiz, and the link will be posted on Google Meet. The quiz system will be closed promptly at 11:15 and will not be reopened. The same quiz will also be administered in the other OS course by Prof. Jerry Chou. Students petitioning to add either course will only need to take the quiz once, and the two courses will coordinate in handling the add petitions. [Note] If you are officially enrolled in either course, you may not drop it and then petition to add so you can switch instructors. Once dropped, you give up your opportunity to take either OS course this semester. The actual score on the quiz will ont impact your course grade, but if you do not take the course, points will be deducted from your course grade. The purpose is to assess the prerequisite knowledge as early feedback for students to strengthen their background knowledge. Therefore, take the quiz with academic honesty. Again, a reminder that all students in this course, whether officially enrolled or petitioning to add, are required to take the prerequisite quiz on the first day.
