======unix spring2021 eoce======
The End of Course Experience (eoce) satisfies the fourth discrete grading
component  of the  course. It  is meant  to evaluate  your knowledge  and
understanding gained through the semester.

Unlike the regular weekly projects, the  purpose of which is to promote a
learning and  understanding of the concepts  of the course, this  EoCE is
meant more  as a demonstration  of your proficiency in  understanding and
utilizing the concepts and skills obtained, showing me how productive you
can be with the experiences gained.

=====Rules=====
Presented within will be various activities evaluating your knowledge and
experience gained this  semester. In places where you are  able, the more
you write (ie comment) and explain  topics the better the chance you will
have of  receiving full  credit (and alternatively,  the more  credit you
will receive should something defer correctness).

Unless otherwise  specified, the components  on this experience  are open
resource with  the exception  of other individuals.  In that  respect, it
is  **CLOSED  PERSON**.  This  means  you are  not  to  communicate  with
other  people  (either in  the  class  or  otherwise),  in real  life  or
electronically. Use your own knowledge, use your own skills, and use your
own ability to access the allowed resources  to aid you in coming up with
your well thought out responses to each activity.

You are allowed,  and expected, to seek clarification on  any activity by
asking me. But the  aim here is to evaluate what you  have learned, so do
not  expect  tutoring.  Any  help  should be  prompted  by  a  well-asked
question.  The better  and more  informed your  questions, the  better my
responses may be. In many ways, I designed this EoCE premised on each and
every  one of  you interacting  with me  through the  asking of  informed
questions. Those  that do not  take advantage  of asking such  calibre of
questions and  instead end up  struggling, please know that  you're doing
this wrong.

You are to do at least **four**  of the available items. Submission is to
be as a submitted archive to  the usual and appropriate place (the 'eoce'
project via 'make submit' on lab46).

To maximize  any credit received  (or to minimize points  lost), optimize
your  submission  for  an  organized  and  easy-to-read  presentation  of
information that conforms  with each section's stated  guidelines. In the
case of programs or scripts written, ensure that you are following proper
and  consistent commenting/documentation  and indentation  practices. Use
well-named variables  (at least 4  symbols long),  and be mindful  of how
your  particular  files  submitted  will  appear  on  a  reasonably-sized
terminal (most of my terminals are 80-90 characters wide).

The  EoCE  is  worth  26  points   of  your  overall  grade  (projects  +
participation +  journal +  eoce = 104),  representing a  distinct fourth
category  within the  grading policy  of the  course (Projects,  Journal,
Participation, and EoCE).

=====Obtaining the EoCE files=====
Using the 'grabit' tool  on lab46, you can obtain your  copy of the EoCE.
As  a  first step,  change  into  a  location  suitable for  storing  and
organizing your files within your repository:

<cli>
lab46:~$ cd ~/src/spring2021/unix
lab46:~/src/spring2021/unix$ 
</cli>

... and run the grabit tool as pertinent for your class desig:

<cli>
lab46:~/src/spring2021/unix$ grabit unix eoce
</cli>

Please, do not change the name of the directory from eoce/.

Change into that directory:

<cli>
lab46:~/src/spring2021/unix$ cd eoce
lab46:~/src/spring2021/unix/eoce$ 
</cli>

Use "ls" to  list files, read any README files  (with cat/less/nano), and
"cd" into the various subdirectories.

Further information can  be found in various README  files located amidst
the directories within the eoce; please be sure to read them.

For some activities there may also  be some form of verification resource
made  available to  you. Be  sure  to utilize  this to  help ensure  your
implementation meets the requirements laid out in each section.

You will notice  a directory tree, resembling the  following, within your
extracted EoCE data:

<code>
       eoce/
        |
        +-- README
        |
        +-- Makefile
        |
        +-- 0x0/
        |
        +-- 0x1/
        |
        +-- 0x2/
        |
       ...
</code>

Within  each "0x"  subdirectory  you  will find  a  README  file and  any
supporting files related to the particular activity you are tasked with.

=====Submission=====
The DEADLINE FOR  SUBMISSION of this EoCE is  11:59:59pm (that's 23:59:59
in 24-hour time) Wednesday, May 12th, 2021. This is the ultimate deadline
for any and all coursework. There is no "late", only "too late". Don't be
that person, not with this.

I would highly  recommend not waiting until the last  moment (or even the
last week) to start on this.

To submit, please  change into your base eoce directory  within your home
directory:

<cli>
lab46:~$ cd ~/src/spring2021/unix/eoce
lab46:~/src/spring2021/unix/eoce$ 
</cli>

... and run "make submit":

<cli>
lab46:~/src/spring2021/unix/eoce$ make submit
</cli>

As with the projects and other deliverables this semester, you can submit
early (and  worthwhile submissions will  receive bonus points),  and also
submit  as many  times as  you desire.  Note that  when you  submit, that
resets  the timestamp  from which  I will  evaluate any  bonus points  or
on-time eligibility.

Good luck!
