Slide 2 Course Syllabus Description: CSCE230. Computer Organization (3 cr) Prereq: CSCE 150, 155, 310 or detailed knowledge of a high-level programming language. Introduction to organization and structure of computer systems, with emphasis on hardware aspects of a computer system. It covers Boolean Logic, Digital Arithmetic, Processor Organization, Machine Language Programming, Input/Output, Memory Organization, System Support Software, and Communication. The material in this course forms the basis for the more advanced courses in computer architecture (CSE 430), High-Performance Processor Architecture (CSE 432), VLSI design (CSE 434), and communication networks (CSE 462). Course Schedule: An overview and tentative (and approximate) schedule of the course is listed below:

Slide 4 Course Syllabus (cont.) Grading Policy: Three exams will be given during the course. The three exams will be equally weighted and equally spaced throughout the semester, approximately one for every 5-week period. All these exams will be taken in class during the 50-minute scheduled class hours. There will not be a final exam for this class. A Term Project will be assigned at around the midterm and will have students work in teams of two to design a simple but real one-cycle CPU. 6-7 homework assignments will be given. Each is due in class on its specified due date. Late work is penalized 20% per day. Once solutions are published, late work cannot be accepted for credit. While collaboration on homework is permitted, blatant copying will not be tolerated. Violators, if caught, will subject to penalties ranging from a zero for the homework assignment in question to an F grade for the course, depending on the severity of the violation. Final Grade will be generated according to the weight associated with each component listed below: Exams: 3X20% = 60%; Homework Assignment:20%; Term Projec:20%; Textbook: David A.
