Week 1

Welcome to the Computer Organization!
Our approach to Computer Organization will be as follows:
- comprehension of lower level operations: take a familiar process, study how its implementation can perform in various environments. Our initial projects will focus on this.
Note that there are THREE (3) things due before the end of Thursday this first week:
- abc0
- wcp1
- week1 journal entry (which I plan to count as bonus; at the very least earn yourself a few points by removing the filler text).
- pct0 (bonus, introductory experience)
- pct1 (also for bonus)
