Computer Organization
Course Objectives
This course is an
introduction to the structure and organization of computer systems. The topics
covered include: digital logic, microprogramming, micro-architectures, machine
languages and their interpretation, operating systems, virtual memory and cache
memory.
The
textbook, which will be used is on-line at the College of the Canyons Computer
Science Website
2. Class
Meetings
The class meets twice
a week Mondays and Wednesdays from 11:10 AM until 12:30 PM.
3. Attendance
I
realize that there are demands on our time that require us to miss scheduled
activities once in a while, however attendance
will be taken each class session and will be considered in the final grade. I
want to help you learn as much as I can about microprocessors and programming.
That means you have to be here so I can do that. The school phone number is
(661) 259-7800 X3217 and there is voice mail on my phone so you can always
leave a message. You can leave me e-mail at doug.forbes@canyons.edu or from the
Computer Science page at http://www.canyons.edu/departments/COMP_SCI/
4. Classroom Behavior
College
level behavior is expected. You will be asked to leave, or referred to
the Dean of Students, if you engage in any inappropriate behavior
during class.
Such behavior includes:
distractive talking
texting
leaving the classroom without asking
disrupting fellow students in any way
Cell phones are to be turned off during class.
Computer monitors are to be turned off during lectures.
5. Withdrawal from class
By
signing up for the course you expressed an interest in computers and
programming. I can help you further that interest. Before you consider dropping
let me know and we can talk, there are always alternatives to quitting.
6. Homework
A
reading assignment will be made at the conclusion of each class. The homework
is to do the reading assignment.
7. Quizzes
There are approximately 8 quizzes
given one every other week. They are taken on ScanTron 882 forms available in
the bookstore as well as in Admissions and Records. You must supply your own ScanTron forms. Missed quizzes may not be
made up however the lowest quiz score will be discarded so if you miss only one
it will not affect your grade negatively. There is a final examination that
consists of questions from the 8 quizzes.
8. Grading
Your
grade will be determined by the following formula:
