What are we going to learn today? Hello Class! Today in class we will focus on: The purpose of the CPU The Von Neumann architecture Common CPU components and their function We will take notes with this well organized template: File:Student cpu template.pptx	What is our home learning? You should review the material we discussed today: ALU – CU – Registers & Buses – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdHK35N-Kuo&list=PLCiOXwirraUB7V2i0SJ4SSJFqRV_LtgzW&t=6s&index=1 Fetch-Decode-Execute – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTDTdTYld2g&index=2&list=PLCiOXwirraUB7V2i0SJ4SSJFqRV_LtgzW
How am I being assessed today? I will assess you formatively today, and make a professional judgement to what extent you understand our learning material. I will use observation, your written work, answers to questions, and contribution to class discussions as data to make my decisions. I normally record my observations in a "evidence of learning" spreadsheet, which I will happily share with you privately if you so wish. I usually need a day or two notice.
As a computer scientist, you have: Confidence in dealing with complexity Persistence in working with difficult problems Tolerance for ambiguity The ability to deal with open-ended problems The ability to communicate and work with others to achieve a common goal or solution
