Jiří Kašpar, Zdeněk Muzikář · 2019
As UNIX-like operating systems are widespread in computing environments, UNIX scripting course is an important part of the first semester of our IT study program. The aim of this course is to provide basic understanding and experience with Linux command line; students learn how to automate repeated tasks required for running various lab experiments. Hands-on lab assignments are prepared for review and evaluation of the student learning process. Two web evaluation services for scripting skills checking were investigated. This paper presents the challenges faced when implementing and fine-tuning the course. It discusses three student skills evaluation methods used in the course.
