Note: The figure in the parenthesis indicate approximate number of
periods allocated for respective units.
Part II: Practical Laboratory Work: 1. Add of two unsigned integer binary number 2. Multiplication of two unsigned integer binary numbers by Partial-Product method 3. Subtraction of two unsigned integer binary number 4. Division using restoring 5. Division using non-restoring methods 6. To simulate a direct mapping cache 7. The student should develop a project on computer Architecture. The topic could be either initiated by the student or selected from a list provided by the instructor. Anoral presentation with a demonstration should be part of the laboratory project report. 4 Instructional Techniques The instructional techniques for this course are divided into two groups. First group consists of general instructional techniques applicable to most of the units. The second group consists of specific instructional techniques applicable to specific units. 4.1 General Techniques
Note: Specific Instructional Techniques may or may not require for each of the units mentioned in course outline. 5 Evaluation 5.1 Internal Evaluation 30% Internal evaluation will be conducted by course teacher based on following activities: 1) Attendance 4 points 2) Participation in learning activities 6 points 3) First assignment/midterm exam 10 points 4) Second assignment/assessment (1 or two) 10 points Total 30 points Note: First assignment/assessment might be mid-term exam + assigns or book review or article review or first term paper on specific issue/topic, mid-term exam or unit test and quiz etc according to nature of course. Second assignment/assessment might be project work, case study, seminar, survey/field study and individual/group report writing, term paper based on secondary data or review of literature and documents etc. First and second assignment/assessment may include one or two types of assessment. For instance, one home assignment/book/article review + mid-term exam or only mid-term exam.
