<br>Attendance is required, whether you are officially enrolled or petitioning to 
<br>
<br>add this course. Between 11:00-11:15, we will give an online quiz, and the 
<br>
<br>li<x>nk will be posted on Google Meet. The quiz system will be closed promptly 
<br>
<br>at 11:15 and will not be reopened. The same quiz will also be administered in the 
<br>
<br>other OS course by Prof. Jerry Chou. Students petitioning to add either course 
<br>
<br>will only need to take the quiz once, and the two courses will coordinate in 
<br>
<br>handling the add petitions.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>[Note] If you are officially enrolled in either course, you may not drop it 
<br>
<br>and then petition to add so you can switch instructors. Once dropped, you give 
<br>
<br>up your opportunity to take either OS course this semester.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>The actual score on the quiz will ont impact your course grade, but if you do 
<br>
<br>not take the course, points will be deducted from your course grade. The 
<br>
<br>purpose is to assess the prerequisite knowledge as early feedback for students 
<br>
<br>to strengthen their background knowledge. Therefore, take the quiz with 
<br>
<br>academic honesty.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Again, a reminder that all students in this course, whether officially 
<br>
<br>enrolled or petitioning to add, are required to take the prerequisite quiz on the 
<br>first day.
