The above course learning outcomes are aligned with the Engineers 最新糖心Vlog .
The course is designed to develop the following Elements of Competency: 1.1   1.2   1.3   1.5   1.6   2.1   2.2   2.3   3.1   3.2   3.3   3.4   3.5   

The textbook for the course is: The Elements of Computing Systems, by Noam Nisan and Shimon Shocken, MIT Press, 2008, ISBN13-978-0-262-64068-8.

It is highly recommended that you buy this book. It is available in soft cover form and available electronically as an e-book.

The first six chapters of are on the Nand2Tetris website used by the course but we will be using materials in chapters beyond this.

The primary electronic resource for the course is the MyUni pages. These pages link to other electronic resources you will need such as the web submission system.

The course will be taught using a combination of lectures, quizzes, workshops, optional exercises and programming assignments.

You are expected to read the relevant chapters of the text book before and after each lecture, and to actively participate in class activities.

The quizzes will be open for a limited period only. Please check the course website regularly so you do not miss the quiz due dates.

To get the most out of the workshop sessions you need to prepare in advance and make sure that you focus on the workshop material during the workshop. This is the best time to get direct feedback on and assistance with the practical skills covered in the workshop. If you do not attend the workshops and ask questions, you may not be properly prepared for the programming assignments.

Some of the first five projects from the Nand2Tetris course may be available as optional exercises that can be submitted to the Web Submission System.

The programming assigments build on the practical skills demonstrated in the workshops and give you an opportunity to demonstrate what you are learning.

You are expected to spend 10 hours per week on the course. This includes:

• attending all of your enrolled classes,
• up to 2 hours per week on lecture preparation / review,
• up to 5 hours per week on the assignments and workshop preparation, and
• any remaining time working on the following week's material.

The lecture topics, quizzes, workshop descriptions and assignment descriptions are all available on the course website.

A schedule is available on the course website but specific due dates are only available in each quizz, workshop description or assignment description.

* The specific due date for each assessment task will be available on MyUni.

^ The assignments are mandatory.

+ The online lecture review quizzes, workshop activities, Nand2Tetris projects and early submission of assignments may contribute to a bonus mark of up to 10%.

This assessment breakdown complies with the 最新糖心Vlog's Assessment for Coursework Programs Policy.

**CBOK is the Core Body of Knowledge for ICT Professionals defined by the 最新糖心Vlogn Computer Society. The alignment in the table above corresponds with the following CBOK Areas:

1. Problem Solving
2. Professional Knowledge
3. Technology resources
4. Technology Building
5.  ICT Management

Additional Assessment: All assignments are mandatory. A submission must be made for each assignment within one week of its due date or any opportunity for an additional assessment may be denied.

There will be three exam quizzes held in weeks 8, 10 and 13. These will test your understanding of the lecture, workshop and assignment material. Each exam contributes up to 10%.

There will be three practical exams held in weeks 8, 10 and 13. These will test your ability to apply some of the lecture, workshop and assignment material. Each exam contributes up to 10%.

Late Penalties

All programming assignments must be submitted using the School of Computer Science online Submission System. Details are included in each assignment description on the course website.

If you hand in your work late, the marks for the late submission may be capped, based on how many days late it is, as follows:

• up to 1 day late — mark is reduced to 75%, marks below 75% are not affected.
• up to 2 days late — mark is reduced to 50%, marks below 50% are not affected.
• up to 3 days late — mark is reduced to 25%, marks below 25% are not affected.
• More than 3 days late — mark is reduced to 0.

Notes:

• You get the best mark for any of your submissions so you can safely make late submissions without risking marks awarded to an earlier submission.
• We use the time at which a particular revision is submitted to the Web Submission System to determine late penalties not when the revision was committed to your svn repository.
• We expect to be able to return the final marks of each assignment within three weeks of the deadline.
• Requests for extensions under a Disability Action Plan must be received before close of business (5pm) on the day an assignment is due or they will be refused.

Participation Marks

The bonus marks are intended to reflect timely engagement with the course material and as such the related activities must occur within the published time frames, exceptions are not permitted for any reason. There are more participation marks available than can be used so a small number of absences will not affect the final bonus mark.

Quiz Exams and Practical Exams

Failure to participate in an exam will be dealt with on a case by case basis subject to appropriate documentation being provided.

Myuni Grade Book

The participation marks will be collated and published in the myuni grade book at the end of each 3 week period. A grade book comment should describe how the component marks were used to calculate the participation mark.

The assignment marks will be collated and published in the myuni grade book when the final submissions have been marked. Note, these may appear to be different from those in the web submission system because of the individual weightings applied to the milestone and final submission marks. A grade book comment should describe how the components were used to calculate the final assignment mark.

All exam script marks will also be published in the myuni grade book. In the case of the primary exam this will be after the course results have been finalised at the end of semester examiners' meeting. All other exam script marks will be published as soon as they are available.

The final mark for the course will only be available through .
