SDC 306 - Computer Architecture

[Ideas]

I just got to the assignment and I'm thinking ... this is terrible. I already know how to code in 6502 assembly, but I knew that I would hit a roadblock when it came to designing the circuits. I have no idea how complicated the ALU should be and most tutorials start with a few bits instead of 8. I didn't find a diagram anywhere at Study.com, but there is a lesson on ALU inputs. I e-mailed the content team because I don't think it makes sense to prompt the student for something that hasn't been taught. Though, I did the lessons out of order, so I wonder if I forgot a lesson somewhere.

It's not because you missed a lesson. I have the same issue.

I think that Study.com didn't want to miss out on getting it approved, so they erred on the side of making it harder. 

Others on this forum have pointed out that it's more like a test-out course where you have to learn that portion on your own. I think they should at least recommend a couple textbooks.
