16.317: Microprocessor Systems Design I
University of Massachusetts Lowell
Instructor: Dr. Michael Geiger
Summer 2013
Course Schedule
This schedule
contains a tentative schedule of topics we will cover throughout the term; this
schedule is subject to change.
As the semester
progresses, I will update the schedule to show the actual dates on which we
cover material, as well as provide links to the lecture slides and programming
assignments. Note that most lectures are associated
with some section(s) of the textbook, which I suggest you read prior to class.
Please note that the exam dates are fixed—the first exam will be held on Tuesday, July 23, the second exam will be held on Thursday, August 1, and the third exam will be held on Thursday, August 15. While all exams will be held in class, the time allotted for Exams 1 and 2 will be less than the full class period.
