      The written exam (2 hours) takes place in an open notebook, it covers exercises in UNIX and C language.

      The oral exam covers the fundamentals of operating systems. The student draws a question at random and then has 15 min preparation time with a copy (provided) of the course before being questioned.

      The written exam and the oral exam each count for 1/2 of the points.
