Toggle Module Description
AC21009 Computer Systems 2A is a Level 2 Computing module that runs in the first semester. Together with AC22005 Computer Systems 2B (second semester), it forms one third of Level 2. AC21009 covers Unix (theory and operation) and fundamentals of computer hardware; programming assignments are done in C/C++ under Unix, although this is not taught on this module. A Qualifying Fail scheme applies to this module - you are required to achieve D3 (40%) for the degree examination AND a D3 (40%) overall for your coursework. If you fail to achieve ≥40% in the degree examination in May, you will be required to achieve ≥40% in the resit in w.b. 3rd July 2017; the mark you achieve will be capped at 40%. If you fail to achieve ≥40% in the coursework overall, you will be required to achieve ≥40% in the resit coursework due w.b. 26th June 2017; the mark you achieve will be capped at 40%. Normally, you will attend all lectures and one 2-hour lab session per week for the duration of the course, and submit all of the coursework assignments. Teaching will be by lecture, practical laboratory, and tutorial. Laboratory practicals are held in the Queen Mother Building ground floor laboratories.
