Lab Exercises and Assessments

The labs and knowledge check questions are not graded.

We would also like to emphasize that you will not be required to take a final exam to complete this course.

Lab Exercises

In all The Linux Foundation courses (in any format) we put a heavy emphasis on learning by doing. In live, instructor-led classes, we almost always aim for a 50/50 balance between lecture and discussion, and working on laboratory exercises, or homework, that either perform the tasks just described in the class, or try more ambitious variations. Instructors help students figure out how to do things, debug their code and scripts, etc., during these lab sessions. Because this course is self-paced, without a live instructor, it will be up to you to control your time budget and make sure you take enough time to do labs.

You will find lab exercises located throughout the course.

For your convenience, you can also access a single file containing all the lab exercises (LFS258 Labs) by navigating to the Table of Contents located on the left-hand side of the screen and selecting Resources > Files.

Knowledge Check

At the end of each chapter, you will also find a series of knowledge check questions. These questions, just like the labs, were designed with one main goal in mind: to help you better comprehend the course content and reinforce what you have learned.
