This paper describes an assignment for an operating systems course in which students implement a simple threading support library. This project provides practical experience with scheduling and dispatch using a single, discrete project, without the complexity of writing or modifying a full OS scheduler. Students can solve this problem entirely in C or C++, so they do not need assembler language. We describe a version of such an assignment used at Mississippi College, and some possible variations.
