Help on COS 306 Computer Architecture Study.com Final assignment

Where did you get that 50% to pass the class, so people just submitted without the Phase 3 and 4? wouldn't that mean we'd need a high score in the exam (I'm not too confident of that personally).

Considering you get 100% for quizzes (everyone should get at least 98%)

Then if you get 70% on the assignment, need 40% on the exam to pass.
Then if you get 60% on the assignment, need 50% on the exam to pass.
Then if you get 50% on the assignment, need 60% on the exam to pass. (getting risky but possible)

This gets to 70% average passing overall.

I would turn in all phases, even if you are guessing or having to Frankenstein something together because maybe the grader will give you some sympathy or credit for partial work.  You need every point possible.

This course could really be broken down into 3 separate courses.  One for the Basics of Computer Architecture, one for designing an APU, and one for Assembly language.  However, it's only one course and they give very little guidance on how to complete the APU other than showing the basics of the 4bit APU.

Yeah turning in all phases is good for getting pity credit, 
Also You can take the exam before handing in the assignment. 
I did this for all of my SDC courses and it helped the content stay fresh in my mind and then I did the assignment after.
