Course Material:
Computer Science 143 is a two-hour beginning course in computer organization and fundamental programming concepts. The course will analyze fundamental concepts involved in understanding how computers work and will provide significant programming experience in MIPS assembly language.

Prerequisites:
CS 142 suggested.

Computer Laboratory
The Macintosh lab, located in room 1121 will be used for all programming assignments. There are approximately 20 machines designated for CS-143 use. These machines are available on an unscheduled basis, however, students should plan their time so that the labs can be completed in advance of the due date in order to avoid heavy use times. The T.A.s are available in the lab for simple syntax questions only. Some of the T.A.s may not be familiar with the MIPS assembly language.

Lab Fee
Each student must purchase two (2) yellow Computer Science Materials cards at the bookstore information desk (upstairs), sign them, put your CID number on them, and drop them in the box provided in the lab.

Additional information including can be found on the WWW page for CS-143. You can view the page using netscape on the machines in the lab. You should plan to attend one of the "How to use the cs143 lab" help sections to find out how to get started.
