Enhancing operating system course using a comprehensive project: decades of experience outlined

This paper describes the characteristics and implementation of a Multiprogramming Batch Operating System (MOS) project. An earlier paper [1] has described problems encountered by student groups during the first decade of its offering, and also solutions designed to solve those problems. This paper outlines recent changes introduced in the administration of the project to overcome residual problems. While characteristics of the MOS project described in the previous and this paper are basically the same, the methodology of administration presented in the two papers are completely different.
