Announcements

 

10/22/09: The Exam 1 solution is now online.

 

10/5/09: Remember, the Exam 1 review session is today from 12:30 to at least 1:30 in the lab (Room 218).

 

Also, Raza has announced his office hours—M 5-6 and F 1-2. The first couple of weeks, however, will be slightly different. Today’s hours will be from 4-5, not 5-6, and he will be out of town and thus unavailable next Friday and Tuesday (10/9 & 10/13—remember, Tuesday follows Monday’s schedule).

 

9/23/09: The solution to Quiz 1 is now available, as are all lecture slides through today’s lecture.

 

9/16/09: My apologies for last week’s absence. As a result, you can see that the lecture schedule has been adjusted, with two obvious consequences:

· Exam 1 has been pushed back 1 week, to October 7.

· The “open” week in mid-October (10/14) will now contain a lecture.

 

Also, please note that the first two lectures have been posted; links are on the schedule page.

 

9/1/09:  Welcome to Microprocessors I!  This web page will contain all of the resources you need to successfully complete this course.  Please check it on a regular basis for new announcements, lecture slides, and assignments.

 

Also, a few notes:

· All material currently posted on the web is subject to change. In particular, I am still finalizing the course schedule, I am still waiting on the official word for a TA assignment, and I may make some minor changes to the course policies as well.

· For roughly the first two thirds of the semester, we will always start with a lecture (or exam) in Room 222 and then move to the lab in Room 218.
