Prerequisites

Basic device physics (6.012 or equivalent) and basic logic design (6.004 or equivalent).


Grading

There is a significant emphasis on the design aspect of the digital design process. The grade is based on problem sets, one design project, and two in-class quizzes. The final grade is calculated approximately using the following weights:

1. Problem Sets (5)           20%
2. Quiz #1                         25%
3. Quiz #2                         25%
4. Final Design Project      30%
