Here is a complete list of the gradable assignments you should complete for
this course:

Homework:
*********

Please make sure all of these projects are located in a folder with the
assignment name. If you did not start off that way, create the folders, move
files into the right place, then push your changes to GitHub_.

    * HW1: Github Setup
    * HW2: Hello Project
    * HW3: Time Out
    * HW4: Group Setup
    * HW5: Simulator Data Files
    * HW6: AVR Blink
    * HW7: Instruction Tracing
    * HW8: AVR Buzz
    * HW9: AVR Blink Buzz

Lab Assignments
***************

..  note::

    Labs 2-7 should be contained i the ``lab2-cpufactory`` repository.

Each lab (except for Lab1) should have test code in the repository that
exercises the components you constructed for the lab. No other code is needed,
just the header file and the implementation file for the part you constructed,
and a test file that tests that part.

The project should build cleanly using these commands:

..  code-block::    bash

    $ make clean
    $ make
    $ make test


These are the labs assigned:

    * Lab1: Dance Simulator
    * Lab2: CPUfactory Setup
    * Lab3: Basic Parts (Pin Wire, Component, Inverter)
    * Lab4: Fetch Components (PC, Instruction Memory Unit)
    * Lab5: Decode Components (Decode, Register Memory Unit)
    * Lab6: Execute Components (ALU)
    * Lab7: Store Components (Data Memory Unit)

Group Projects
**************

These assignments should be located in their own project repositories. Each
student must be clearly identified as the author of a section in the report.
Please include the source code you used for your project, but do not include
any library files you used. Just identify those, and indicate the source you
found for each library.

    * GP1: Raspberry Pi and Docker

    * GP2: AVR Hardware Control

Exams
*****

We also had a few other things to grade:

    * Exam1
    * Exam Lab 1
    * Exam2

Extra Credit
************

There is a link on the schedule page offering extra credit. These assignments
can be worked on in a group, if you can find someone to join in your effort.
Each involves setting up a bit of software and writing a report. Available
points range up to one half of a letter grade on the final grading

Grade Calculations
******************

I try to keep to the spirit of the grading documented in the syllabus. That
means this is how the final grade will be calculated:

    * Homework (9 @ 10 points each) (10%)

    * Labs (7 @ 30 points each) (36%)

    * Group Projects (2 @ 100 points each) (20%)

    * Exams (2 @ 150 points each) (30%)

    * Attendance (4%)

My gradebook is an Excel spreadsheet that does these calculations. I make sure
the points add up to exactly what you see on Blackboard, but you cannot
calculate your grade based on that Blackboard total alone. The weighting figures
in as well.
