Learning methods and activities
Conventional lectures and laboratory work with computers and Raspberry Pi's.
Compulsory assignments
- Linux assignment
- Programming assignment 1
- Programming assignment 2
Further on evaluation
Students will submit three compulsory assignments that have to be approved to take the exam. One assignment is related to the administration of a Linux-based server (e.g., Apache web server configuration), while the other two are related to programming (e.g., Bash scripting and task automation). If one or more compulsory assignments are not approved, a student will need to retake the course, and complete all three assignments again.
