A course is the basic teaching unit, it's design as a medium for a student to acquire comprehensive knowledge and skills indispensable in the given field. A course guarantor is responsible for the factual content of the course.
For each course, there is a department responsible for the course organisation. A person responsible for timetabling for a given department sets a time schedule of teaching and for each class, s/he assigns an instructor and/or an examiner.
Expected time consumption of the course is expressed by a course attribute extent of teaching. For example, extent = 2 +2 indicates two teaching hours of lectures and two teaching hours of seminar (lab) per week.
At the end of each semester, the course instructor has to evaluate the extent to which a student has acquired the expected knowledge and skills. The type of this evaluation is indicated by the attribute completion. So, a course can be completed by just an assessment ('pouze zápočet'), by a graded assessment ('klasifikovaný zápočet'), or by just an examination ('pouze zkouška') or by an assessment and examination ('zápočet a zkouška') .
The difficulty of a given course is evaluated by the amount of ECTS credits.
The course is in session (cf. teaching is going on) during a semester. Each course is offered either in the winter ('zimní') or summer ('letní') semester of an academic year. Exceptionally, a course might be offered in both semesters.
The subject matter of a course is described in various texts.

BIK-ADU.1 Unix Administration Extent of teaching: 14KP+4KC
Instructor: Completion: Z,ZK
Department: 18104 Credits: 5 Semester: L

Annotation:
Students became familiar with the internal structure of Unix-like systems, with the administration of their basic subsystems and with the principles of their protection against unauthorized use. In the seminars they will verify the information from the lectures on real life examples from practice. They will understand the differences between user and administrator roles. They gain theoretical and practical knowledge of tools for tracking, analyzing, debugging and securing systems, implementing and managing file systems, disk subsystems, processes, memory, network services, shared file systems, name services, remote access, and system boot.

Lecture syllabus:
1. Introduction, tools for system analysis.
2. Administration principles, user identity, user administration.
3. Administrator rights and their acquisition, Access Control List, sudo program.
4. Security, authentication modules, privileges, roles.
5. Disk and file system management, RAID technology.
6. Booting the system.
7. Networking, network interfaces, name and address translation.
8. Network services configuration, event logging in the system.
9. Shared file systems.
10. Name services.
12. Process limits, access control.
13. Operating system kernel (Linux).

Seminar syllabus:
1. Introduction, User administration I 2. User administration II, Changing Identity, sudo, ACL
3. RBAC, Privileges
4. Disk management, swap
5. Filesystems, fsck
6. Snapshot, Volume Manager
7. Filesystem ZFS
8. Configuring NFS
9. System services
