2. Computer Architecture II 2 Administrative stuff: Office hours Florin Isaila Office: 2.1.D05 Monday 16-18 By appointment

3. Computer Architecture II 3 Administrative stuff 3 independent parts: theory, practice and presentations. Passing: grades of each >= 4,5 and their average >= 5. Final grade: Total = Theory*0,5 + Practice*0,3 + Presentations*0.2 If a student passes only one of the theory or the practice in June session, the grades will be kept for the session in September. More information: webpage: http://www.arcos.inf.uc3m.es/~ii_ac2_enhttp://www.arcos.inf.uc3m.es/~ii_ac2_en For any doubts please contact the professors during the office hours or by email.

4. Computer Architecture II 4 Administrative stuff: exam 2 hours During the exam you can not use any additional material (books, notes). Cheating = failure of the class for both June and September exam sessions. Similar solutions to the programming assignments = cheating for all involved students.

5. Computer Architecture II 5 Programming assignments Compulsory. Posted in the webpage of the lecture. In groups of two students. Special care will be paid for examining if the programming assignments are not the same. The passing grade for each programming assignments is 4,5 points. The programming assignment grades will not be kept for a lecture in a future semester. For the September session the programming assignments will be the same as the ones for the June session.
