Finals

[(John Sechrest) <sechrest@peak.org>]

	Hello,
	
	I am teaching a course this summer on Unix System
	Administration (OSU CS312). It is often a fun course
	that has a combination of book learning, questions
	and hands on projects. 
	
	As a part of my courses, I have the students group up
	into teams and go to a K12 school and "do something" for the 
	school. This year we have 4 teams working on 3 different
	schools to try to get some feature up and going.
	
	The course material (at least an outline) can be seen
	at http://iq.orst.edu/sysadm/summer97
	
	I am about to write my final exam for the class.
		
	I have run quizes online this term, using a tool called
	Quest writer that we have been working on at OSU.
	
	I plan to do the final the same way.
	
	If you look at 
		http://iq.orst.edu/sysadm/summer97/sample.quiz.html		
		http://iq.orst.edu/sysadm/summer97/sample.midterm.html
		http://iq.orst.edu/sysadm/summer97/sample.final.html												

	You can see the types of questions that I have asked in the 
	past.
	
	If you have an itch to look at the questions and 
	offer suggestions of questions, I will certainly 
	take a look at them. 
	
	And nothing else, I will share them with the class as
	final fodder.
	
	I think this course offers a real chance for people to learn
	system administration by doing, but at the same time
	by learning the basics in a structured manner.
	
	Any comments you have about the course would be most welcome.
