CSCI 343 Operating Systems Fall 2017 Exam #1
Directions: This exam is closed book, closed notes,
closed neighbor, closed phone, etc, etc…just (hopefully) open mind. Show your work in the space
provided. If you need more space, use
the back of one of the pages, and indicate where I can find your work. Write
legibly…if I can’t read it, I have to assume it is
wrong. Not counting the bonus, there are 100 points to this test. Good luck and have fun!
Matching: In the blank provided, write the number
of the word on the right that matches the definition on the left. You may use a word more than once or not at
all. Also note that there is a “none of
the above” as an option.
