Question about COS 306 Computer Architecture Study.com Final assignment

[rachel83az]

Another question! I've read that some people suggested that only doing Phase 1-2 and assembly programs is enough to pass the course, but how do we write a program without designing the control unit and ram and registers?

Pretend they exist.

Should the programs be executable based on the language that we are supposed to design but they never mentioned anything about

Yes.

OR the general format of assembly language that is executable on IDE like ASM or 8086 format? Gosh this thing is so confusing!!!

If you design it that way, then yes.

Check the rubric. The assembly programs are 40 points. If you can do (most of) the ALU, that gives you 50-60 points at minimum.

100 points for quizzes
+50 points for assignment
+65 points for exam
======
215 points and a pass

If you haven't already taken the exam, do so immediately. If you get 90% on the exam, you'd only need about 30 points in the assignment to pass the course.
