A helpful refresher, and source of insight for the instructor might be the book
    The Unix Philosophy
    Mike Gancarz
I don't know if this would be of any help to the students or not.


Amazon notes that there is a forth coming book by Gancarz
entitled  Linux and Unix Philosophy

Also helpful for the instructor to remind of explicit ideas in Unix
are the ideas embedded in
     Software Tools
     Kernighan and Plauger
