We will introduce the internal assessment
We will move through the checklist to help you stay organized
We wil review the IA assessment criteria
This IA is one of the most time intensive IA's in the IB. Be prepared to spend in excess of 80 hours to complete your IA.
Your job for todays class is to start thinking of a topic. I'll help guide your thinking and answer your questions.
A little less comfortable
Process
You should be revising our content for 20 minutes each day. As you learning about resource management you should be asking yourself how you can apply your understanding (how do I go from theoretical to practical). I would love to hear you ask, "How can we use this information practically?".
Product
As you are learning you should be taking notes, and developing a cookbook or spellbook. Most system administrators have a book of hints and tips they keep with them. You should have a digital text file or written notebook with helpful reminders to understand the deeper parts of your system.
Content
At the end of the day, you should be able to apply your understanding of operating systems to issues to solve problems. You must understand how to view and manage complexity from an operating system.

You should have a digital text file or written notebook with helpful reminders to understand the deeper parts of your system. You should explore different operating systems; looking for tools and similiar views between windows, linux and mac OS.

At the end of the day, you should be able to apply your understanding of operating systems to issues to solve problems. You must understand how to view and manage complexity from an operating system, and you should be able to interface with parts of an operting system through a python program.
