<br>
<br>本課程將採取翻轉式教學
<br>Before class:
<br>1、學生將透過網路，預先觀看教學投影片。
<br>In class:
<br>2、上課時間同學對觀看投影片不瞭解部分，提出問題。老師回答全體同學。
<br>3、小組討論。
<br>4、老師與同學，再透過互動，解答不瞭解的內容。助教及教師回答個別小組及同學。
<br>5、老師問小組問題，老師抽點成員回答(group performance)。(包括上台講解，讓全體同學了解）

<br> 五、教學進度(Syllabus)
<br>
<br>Course outlines
<br>1: Computer abstractions and technology
<br>2: The role of performance
<br>3: Instructions: language of the machine
<br>4: Arithmetic for computers
<br>5: The processor: datapath and control
<br>6: Enhancing performance with pipelining
<br>7: Large and fast: exploiting memory hierarchy
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br> 六、成績考核(Evaluation)
<br>
<br>In-class performance (group performance 及小測驗） 30%
<br>作業及期末project 10%
<br>期中考 30%
<br>期末考 30%
<br>
<br>何謂group performance:
<br>
<br>1. Forming study groups. Each group has 5 students.
<br>  a. For members in the same group, their group performance will be the same.
<br>  b. Advanced learner will help less advanced learner!
<br>
<br>2. Group performance
<br>  a. Teacher ask questions and students answer questions
<br>  b. One member in each group will be randomly selected to answer teacher’s question 
<br>  c. Teacher may ask students to answer the question on the blackboard
