Distributed Systems : Exercises

Exercise sessions

The first exercise session is handled a bit differently. The rest of the sessions follow the department standard pattern: you are expected to work out the answers on your own and be able to present your solution at the exercise session.

During the sessions, we will verify the answers together, by cooperating in small groups and assisted by the teacher.

Home exercises

In addition to regular exercise sessions, the course includes four (4) homework assignments. The homework assignments will be submitted by e-mail. Task descriptions will be posted here together with their deadlines.

FAQ

  • Sorry, but I'm in a hurry to work/sports/music class/a date. Can I drop by and leave my printed exercises to the lecturer or assistant?

For this course, you can't.

  • Hey, what's going on in page ...

As almost all books, even the course book contains errors. For example, the description of NTP used for Exercise 4 omits a crucial term.
