Experience of Teaching Computer Organization Course for Multiple Majors and Minors

Abstract

Abstract. Computer organization course is essential for undergraduate students of computing disciplines related majors and minors. Adapting the course content to students of different backgrounds and goals is not easy. In this paper, we introduce our experience of teaching the computer organization course for multiple majors and minors ranging from computer architecture to artificial intelligence. A combination of adaptive lectures and flexible lab practices is designed to meet the requirements of different majors and minors. Reactions from students show the effectiveness of our approach.
