TESU Eliminates SOME Study.com Transfer Credits [unconfirmed]

[AllThose299s]

I started Computer Architecture in March, gave up and dropped it. I was going to keep this course as a backup if I failed one of my UL on my todo list but considering the upcoming deadline, I figured I might as well at least give it a shot since I spent the time to watch all the videos and do the quizzes.

I spent this week on the assignment, got the 1-bit ALU working with a good chunk of the operations from phase one of the assignment, spent at least a day getting the 8-bit ALU wired up (someone posted a video showing how to make a 4-bit ALU based off the 1-bit ALU) which once I knew that I could do a working 1-bit ALU, that made the 8-bit ALU so much easier. The pain point was accidentally getting wires connected with other wires due to making corners when when I started wiring things up. I got 4 points docked from Build the 9 original instructions in Logisim because I misread the instructions and thought I only had to build 9 instructions from the total 14 list from Phase 1, not the 9 instructions that they provided.

Spent another day trying to write assembly based off a tutorial on assembly (and the fact that I saw on one of the youtube videos posted on assembly for that course referenced that you could refer to lines you've written in your program) and pretty much used that knowledge to do some GOTO statements as part of the loop. I labelled almost every gate in my logisim circuit and I guess my circuit was detailed enough because the grader gave me 100. Took the practice final a few times yesterday and today and scored in the 60s each time.

Just finished taking the final exam today and I scored a 66 out of 100 based off what I could remember from March, so I felt that the practice final is a good indication on how you might do on the final exam.
