This week was the last week did not feature any new materials and we instead resubmitted some previous programming assignments and prepared for the final. Overall, I really enjoyed this class and learned a great deal about operating systems and how they manage programs, memory and data transfer. This class had given me a greater appreciation for the critical function that the operating system provides. One aspect that sticks out in my mind is the concept of the kernel. I know in previously I had heard the term, but never really knew what it was. I now understand what the kernel is and how it works, so now when I see a vague error about the kernel in my operating system I have some idea what it is talking about. Beyond that the other concepts explored in this class have helped me to become a more well rounded computer science major.
This week primarily consisted of the Mid term which encompassed the first three weeks of learning. So far, this class has been challenging, but I am beginning to grasp some of the main concepts. I find that doing a daily review of the materials I have learned helps me to feel a little more confident that I understand. I feel that the main ideas have been computing the time complexity of the algorithm and getting familiar with some established algorithms for solving common problems. I will continue to study the new material and review previous materials to continue to improve.
