AI can describe a page replacement algorithm perfectly and still leave you unable to reason about your own kernel code. CSC369 runs on a mental model of what the machine is actually doing, and there is no prompt that installs that model in your head for you.
Explaining what a TLB does. Walking through the difference between a mutex and a semaphore. Generating extra scheduling and virtual memory questions to drill. Explanation and repetition are real uses, and you should keep them.
Tell you why your scheduler deadlocks at the fortieth thread, or why your page table walk returns garbage, when half the state lives in your code and half lives in your head. Kernel debugging runs on a picture of the system, and that picture has to be yours.
None of this makes you a bad student. It makes you a student learning to code in the AI era.
Not necessarily, but AI makes it easy to miss. Reading a clear explanation feels like understanding, and so does a snippet that runs. The check is simple: close everything and describe out loud what happens on a page fault, step by step. Wherever the description goes vague is where the assignment will stall. The AI-era coding help runs the same check across the areas that decide a closed book exam.
Tutoring is taught by Joseph Abate, a software engineer with 6 years writing production code and 8+ years tutoring computer science. Over 500 students across college and university programming courses so far.
Sessions run online across Canada, and in person around Toronto and the GTA. No contract and no minimum commitment. I guide the work, you write and submit your own.
