Introduction To System Programming: Chan-Gun Lee

This document introduces an introductory course on system programming. It will cover how computer hardware is organized, how programs run on hardware, assembly programming, operating systems, and network programming. Students will learn low-level concepts like machine instructions and memory as well as high-level concepts like operating system services. The goal is for students to understand computer systems from hardware to software. Active participation is encouraged for optimal learning.

Passive vs. Active Learning

 After 2 weeks, we tend to remember

 Passive learning
– 10% of what we read
– 20% of what we hear
– 30% of what we see (picture)
– 50% of what we hear and see

 Active learning
– 70% of what we say
– 90% of what we say and do

Everybody! be an Active Learner
 recall prior material
 answer a question (say a lot!)
 guess the solution first (even guessing wrong will help you to
remember the right approach)
 raise questions
 think of application
 imagine that you were the professor and think about how you would
give a test on the subject material so that key concepts and results will
be checked
 summarize a lecture, a set of homework or a lab in your own words
concisely

An Active Learner will become an Independent


Researcher and Engineer

Will it be an easy course?
 Easy for hard working guys
 Difficult for …

 At the end, you will learn a lot and


realize that this course is useful for
your future!
