Schedule of Classes Information
Description:

Fundamental logic circuits are introduced & their operation explained. Discrete components are discussed & the theory progresses to small, medium & large scale integrated circuits. These building blocks are used to develop the architecture of a microprocessor. From this assembly language programs are written that will run on a 8-bit microprocessor (8085).

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.

Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing.		Writing 0 - 0%
None
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments are more appropriate for this course.
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills.		Problem Solving 30 - 70%
Homework problems, Quizzes
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.		Skill Demonstrations 0 - 0%
None
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.		Exams 30 - 70%
Multiple choice, Completion
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories.		Other Category 0 - 0%
None
