This is a space for members of the Computer Organization class to create a source of information reflective and assisting to the course.

  • Some neat bit of information related to the class
  • Some clarification or understanding you've had with respect to concepts in the class
  • Organizational/style improvements to existing content
  • Questions you have that may deserve a more visual answer
