2010 - Welcome to the Module
Hello to everyone taking AC22001 this year. This website will be the primary point of access to module materials including lecture slides, lab handouts, coursework descriptors, and syllabus outlines.
Additionally, our aim is to use this website to get continuous feedback about how the module is progressing. So if you have any suggestions that might improve the module then please get in touch. For example, suggestions might range from additional topics that you think we should cover to topics that we do cover but that you want us to recap.
There have been some alterations since last year, partly based upon feedback from students. For example, the order of topics for the entire module was rebalanced to give a better overall structure. In doing this we also found time to bring in a week 6 reading week so that all of the School of Computing level 2 modules are consistent in their treatment of reading weeks. An additional benefit of this restructuring means that we have been able to reinstate the second Linux week so that we can devote more time to scripting lectures, and so that there is now a clear three week period at the beginning of the semeter (weeks 1 to 3) where we learn some new skills and tools which we then spend the rest of the semester applying in the context of various basic theoretical concepts associated with computer architectures, hardware abstraction software (operating systems), and language processors (compilers and interpreters).
