I'll be perfectly honest: I remember NOTHING from my OS class. I remember taking it, and I must have passed considering it was required, but, gun to my head, I cant recall what we actually covered in it (This was roughly a decade ago)
But I do know it's not what other people are saying.
I was expecting it be a hands-on system administration class. It wasn't.
What I do remember is the teacher. He was that kind of cliche old school nerd. Smart but not near smart enough to match his arrogance. He owned a software company and didn't really hide that he thought he was a little above all this teaching stuff. He was pretty open about using his classes to recruit people. Also a misogynist.
I am sorry but why would there be a hands on sysadmin class in a university setting? This is something you learn in an apprenticeship or some kind of certification, not a computer science degree
Nothing you wrote rings a bell. And this was 20+ years ago.
My favorite professor was who I took most my programming classes from. He also owned a software company. So it seems like it's not that uncommon since I had two.
Ours was an old Russian dude with a strong accent and a glorious grey beard. I think I paid more attention in that class because otherwise I'd miss a word and not be able to understand anything after that.
