Alan Mead asked for the titles of the areas, to be better able to form an
opinion. The things of particular interest are:
- are there psychometric complications or objections?
- how much hassle is it to actually move items belonging to specific areas
to another exam?
He also asked for the time frame. That is increasingly narrow: I am
leaving for S.F. Saturday morning, so I want to send a proposal to the AC
tomorrow evening my time, which means: within the next 24 hours. Oh well,
how many of you respond to e-mails more than a day old?
How to distribute the content of Level 1 over the exams?
I'll list area numbers, short title, (number of objectives), and total
weight.
Current 101:
3 GNU & Unix Commands (7): 26
4 Devices, Filesystems, FHS (8): 21
6 Boot, init, shutdown, Runlevels (2): 6
8 Documentation (4): 9
11 Administration (5): 21
Total 83
Current 102:
1 Hardware & Architecture (3): 10
2 Linux Installation & Package Management (6): 24
5 Kernel (2): 7
7 Text Editing, Processing, Printing (4): 8
9 Shells, Scripting, Programming, Compiling (2): 9
10 X (4): 10
12 Networking Fundamentals (3): 18
13 Networking Services (5): 20
14 Security (3): 10
Total 116
I propose to move Areas 7 (now: Printing) and 9 (Shells, scripting
etc.) to exam 101, to get more balanced exams; in the current revision:
New 101:
103 GNU & Unix Commands (8): 28
104 Devices, Filesystems, FHS (8): 21
106 Boot, init, shutdown, Runlevels (2): 6
107 Printing (3): 6
108 Documentation (3): 8
109 Shells, Scripting, Programming, Compiling (2): 9
111 Administration (5): 21
Total 99
New 102:
101 Hardware & Architecture (5): 11
102 Linux Installation & Package Management (6): 24
105 Kernel (2): 7
110 X (3): 9
112 Networking Fundamentals (3): 18
113 Networking Fundamentals (5): 20
114 Security (3): 10
Total 99
(Number of objectives and weights will change)
