16.317: Microprocessor Systems Design I

Instructor: Dr. Michael Geiger

Spring 2014

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 Wednesday, February 19 in class, the second exam will be held on Wednesday, April 2 in class, and the third exam will be held Tuesday, May 6, from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM.
