> Every undergraduate CS major at Purdue University is required to do the infamous shell lab
Huh. Is the course based on CMU's book "Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective"? The CS:APP book is used by like a hundred schools nationwide and there's a shell lab there too: http://csapp.cs.cmu.edu/3e/shlab.pdf
My school (the University of Utah) used this book for one of our courses. Worse than the shell lab was implementing malloc by hand, haha. Rough weekend right there.
The undergrad OS class at Purdue has a Malloc from scratch lab and a shell lab. Really great class, I don't know what if anything it is based on they had us buy the "Dinasaur" book but I don't remember ever using it that was a while ago now though.
