  2. Welcome to Computer Architecture Rules No fighting, no foul language. Computers are for classwork only. One pass = one person out at a time. Each school-day of lateness = 1 point off. Be logged in and ready to take notes when the bell rings. Procedures Each class: 1) Go to my web page – there will be a Do Now. (I'll take attendance while you do this) It ought to take about 5 minutes. 2) The lesson (about 30 minutes). As much as possible, a quick lecture with an activity. 3) Review and summary, about 5 minutes. Grading and Assignments25% → Current Hardware/Software Events (use Engadget – other websites negotiable) Due during the first class of each week. 25% → Quizzes and exams At the end of each subunit (5-10 questions) and unit (20 questions) 50% → Projects (product reviews, shopping lists for computer builds, etc.) Textbook and Notesnewegg.com and on my website. Keep a neat Computer Architecture folder (please make one now).
