- Several compulsory assignments: install FreeBSD or Linux, create
user accounts.
- Students then choose a number of elective assignments from a list
provided, or something approved by the lecturer.
- Two types: technical assignments (installs, configures) and
research assignments (feasibility, availability, best choice, policy).
- Assignment difficulty determines its worth.
- Students must do both technical and research assignments.
- Short lab test at end of course on Unix SA skills from lectures.
- End of course summary: essentially a bonus 5 marks.
