SDC 306 - Computer Architecture

[posabsolute]

Hey guys,

So I know we have a  thread with a melting pot of information about the new SDC CS courses, however, it's kind of hard to gather all the info for a specific course.

On my side I just passed the Computer Architecture final exam, much easier than I thought it would be, I feel there are about 2 or 3 chapters that are more intensive, however the exam I got was kind of simple, using very small binary numbers for operations, easy logic gate questions, and a lot of questions where you need to just remember the answer. I slowed down the quizzes because of the holiday, which was an issue as far as remembering "by heart" answers. I still did a good score.

The assignment, however, is quite something, I don't find the course prepare you at all to do what they ask, I somewhat giving up, for now, trying to gather the info from the course and started looking at logicism tutorials for building CPU's on youtube.

I would say I'm at halfway of step 1 and 2, after 2 hours and I'm starting to slow down. My guess is this will take me about 10 to 15 hours to have something decent at this point.
