With Vered, 436N was an excellent course. Slightly unstructured but that is the nature of learning new models and the 436’s. The course had challenging assignments and a medium difficulty midterm/final. Highly recommended. I also think it’s better than 440.

CPSC436A OS DESIGN & IMPL Excellent course overall. I consider this is one of the few courses I have ever taken at UBC where my tuition actually pays off. You will obtain hands-on experience developing an Operating System in this course, also you will find out how little and shallow you understand OS from courses like 313. Here is the course website https://www.students.cs.ubc.ca/~cs-436a/.
