2. Pre-Requisites
This subject is based on the competences and knowledge acquired in the subjects:
- Basics of Programming I (1st course)
- Basics of Programming II (1st course)
- Computer Structure (1st course)
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
An operating system is a program that manages the hardware of a computer and facilitates the interaction between it and the user. It is, therefore, a low-level software element that acts as an interface between high-level software and hardware.
This subject addresses the question of how a program can finally run on a physical system (hardware), and therefore his knowledge is indispensable for a computer engineer. It can be considered as one of the fundamental subjects of the degree and appears in all similar study plans, both national and international.
This subject belongs to a degree qualification that complies with what is specified in the Resolution of June 8th, 2009, of the "Secretaría General de Universidades" that establishes recommendations for the proposal by the Universities of reports of applications for official degrees that lead to the profession of Technical Engineer in Computer Science, and covers the specific competences common to the branch of computing [CO5] Knowledge, administration and maintenance of systems, services and computer applications, and [CO10] Knowledge of the features, functionalities and structure of the Operating Systems and design and implement applications based on their services.
It is, therefore, a compulsory subject in the curriculum, regardless of the specific technology that the student wants to follow. The knowledge acquired in this subject is complemented not only with those obtained in the subjects cited in the section of prerequisites but also with those of other contemporary subjects in the curriculum (Organization of Computers, Real Time and Concurrent Programming ) as well as those of higher-level subjects (Distributed Systems, Operating Systems II).

| Theoretical exam | 40.00% | 0.00% | [ESC] There will be 2 controls (progress tests) of theory and exercises throughout the course. A final exam will be scheduled to recover the parts not passed during the course. |
| Laboratory sessions | 30.00% | 0.00% | [LAB] There will be 2 controls (progress tests) of practices throughout the course. A final exam will be scheduled for those students who have not passed the practices in the progress tests. |
| Projects | 20.00% | 0.00% | [INF] Realization of a programming project and a report on the assigned topic (in a group) |
| Assessment of active participation | 10.00% | 0.00% | [INF] Elaboration of deliveries during the whole course related to theory and exercises topics. |
| Total: | 100.00% | 0.00% | |
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
There will be a final test of Theory, Exercises and Practices for the students that didn't pass the tests made during the continuous evaluation.
To pass the subject it will be necessary to pass the block "Theory and Exercises" + "Practices" taking into account the weights shown in the previous table. In addition, the global mark of the subject must be greater than or equal to 5. That is, it must be fulfilled simultaneously that
"Theory and Exercises" * 0.4 + "Practices" * 0.3> = 3.5 (out of 7)
and "Theory and Exercises" * 0.4 + "Practices" * 0.3 + "Project" * 0.2 + "Deliverables" * 0.1> = 5 (out of 10)
The student who does not pass the theoretical exam will have a grade not higher than 4.00 even if the overall mark obtained is another, including more than 5.00.

Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
There will be an extraordinary test of Theory, Exercises and Practices for the students that didn't pass the ordinary test.
The students that didn't pass the Project in the ordinary call will be allowed to deliver it again.
To pass the subjet, the same conditions must be fulfilled as in the ordinary call.
The students that didn't pass the Project in the ordinary call will be allowed to deliver it again.
To pass the subjet, the same conditions must be fulfilled as in the ordinary call.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
There will be an extraordinary test of Theory, Exercises and Practices. The marks of "Project" and "Deliverables" of the last year in which the subject was taken will be saved.
To pass the subjet, the same conditions must be fulfilled as in the extraordinary call.
To pass the subjet, the same conditions must be fulfilled as in the extraordinary call.

| General comments about the planning: | This course schedule is APPROXIMATE. It could vary throughout the academic course due to teaching needs, bank holidays, etc. A weekly schedule will be properly detailed and updated on the online platform (Virtual Campus). Note that all the lectures, practice sessions, exams and related activities performed in the bilingual groups will be entirely taught and assessed in English. Classes will be scheduled in 3 sessions of one hour and a half per week. The assessment activities could be performed in the afternoon, in case of necessity. |
