Exam

 The exam consists of a project followed by a written test.
  • The project consists of developing a real-time multi-thread application in C language on the Linux operating system.
    It must be fully completed and delivered before the written test. The project rules are specified below.

  • The written test consists of a set of exercises and questions that cover the topics of the course.
    Some sample exercises with the corresponding solutions are given below.
