Program ADP-CS

Credit Hours 3

Duration 16 Weeks / 32 sessions

Prerequisites
Course Objectives:

After studying this course students should be able to:

• To understand how device dependent programming can be performed.


• To understand the programming model of Intel 8086 and above processors.
• To be able to develop low level programs for an Intel based machine

Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
• Understand how device dependent programming can be performed.
• Understand the programming model of Intel 8086 and above processors.
• Be able to develop low level programs for an Intel based machine.

Violation of Academic Honesty Policy:

If any two projects / assignments are identical or partially identical, a zero will be awarded. The
repetition of such kind may lead to an “F” grade in the course.

How to Keep Your Professor Happy:

Class attendance is mandatory. You may miss up to 6 class sessions. On the seventh absence,
you will be withdrawn from the course. As a courtesy to the instructor and other students, be
prepared to arrive at class and be in your seat on time. In addition, please note that each class
lasts for 90 minutes.

Also keep in mind some general rules as given below:

• Cell phones should be powered off.


• Eatables are not allowed in the class.
• The teacher will not tolerate any disruptive behavior in the class.
• The Dress Code has to be observed, no warnings will be given, and violators will be
asked politely to leave the class and consequently will be marked absent.
Participation:

Students are required to attend all classes and read all the assigned material in advance of class
(although not necessarily with perfect comprehension). Advanced preparation and class
participation are crucial for periods in which we discuss cases. During discussion sessions, the
instructor generally keeps track of the insightful and useful comments students make. (Any
unproductive contribution is not rewarded)
