摘要：Courses on Operating Systems (OS) are essential in computer science education. The topic provides
the students with an excellent opportunity to experience the interplay between theory and
practice. Specifically, a project-based-learning (PBL) instructional design for an OS course can
provide the students with opportunities to engage in practical projects. The PBL approach enables
students to take part in learning activities which are essential for grasping underlying theoretical
concepts, linking theory, practice and system-level perception. In this paper we present our experience
in teaching an operating systems course with a continuing evolving project using a PBL
approach. The findings of a preliminary assessment indicated a highly positive attitude on the part
of the students towards the PBL approach used in the course as well as towards the qualitative
evaluation method that was used to assess their achievements.
