COURSE INFORMATION
Course Description:
This course is a continuation of INFO 2521 and extends those topics and skills. Additional
topics include writing and using macros; creating system-level software tools as well as more
advanced application programs; manipulating computer hardware via machine and assembly
language code; and employing interfaces between assembly language code and operating
systems (MS Windows, MS-DOS, and others), and between assembly language code and
application programs developed in C++ and other high-level languages.
Course Prerequisites: INFO 2521 Intel Assembly Language I

Template Rev. 7/24/06
Course Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
1. Demonstrate knowledge and abilities in relation to common cross-platform data
representations, computer architectures, and machine and assembly language principles
and techniques.
2. Demonstrate knowledge of more advanced assembly language directives, operators, and
program structure.
3. Approach programming problems with a machine-level mind set, and use assembly
language to create and develop (including plan, write, assemble, execute, and document)
more advanced, 32-bit Protected mode and 16-Bit Real-address mode application
programs and system-level software (without having to ask anyone for help).
4. Demonstrate improved machine-level debugging skills, including monitoring each of
the CPU's actions as directly as possible.
5. With regard to the relationship between fundamental high-level programming constructs
(such as statements, arithmetic expressions, loops, and logical structures; and data
structures and arrays) and lower-level (assembly language and (native and virtual)
machine language) code: demonstrate the use of lower-level code to implement highlevel constructs, explain how high-level languages implement their high-level constructs
at the lower levels, and explain how high-level language compilers (such as C++)
translate from their high-level language into lower-level code.
(See Study Guide handout for more detailed objectives.)

COURSE ASSESSMENT
1. Types of Assessment/Assignments
a. Identify how students will be assessed (Quizzes/Exams/Papers/Projects/etc)
Student progress is measured against the course objectives listed earlier by means of
in-class participation, Intel assembly language computer programs, as well as periodic
written and hands-on skills testing. Assignments will be Intel assembly language
programs, for the student to work on either at home or in one of the computer labs.
Programs are vital to achieving the course objectives. Students will write Intel
assembly language programs based on material learned over the chapters in the
textbook. Please retain copies of your submitted work. Typical program submittals
must include:
 design/format/layout documentation for all program input and output,
 a hierarchy diagram and/or UML (where appropriate),
 flowcharts (or pseudo-code or IPO charts),
 printed assembler, compiler and linker list files as successfully executed,
 printed output from a successful test execution,
 listings of all test input and output files, and,
 on a 3.5” floppy diskette or other submittable storage medium:
o source files for all printed documentation,
o the program source code as successfully compiled and executed, and
o all data files needed for testing program execution.
Programming assignments will be evaluated on:
 the adequacy of program planning;
 correctness of coding generated;
 usage of comments to describe and clarify program logic, variable usage, and
input/output requirements;
 adequacy of program testing procedures; and
 adequacy of program documentation.
 Of course, the program should also assemble/compile, link, and run correctly.
Full points are awarded for the inclusion of the specified item(s), with points being
deducted for notable problems. A typical point assignment for these various aspects
of programming for a 40 point program is as follows:
Planning & external
documentation:
1 input layout(s)
1 output layout(s)
1 hierarchy diagram/UML
4 flowcharts/pseudocode/
IPOs
Comments in source code:
2 general description of program
2 input/output requirements
2 purpose & use of each variable
(variable table)
2 program logic (for each
function/module)
Coding & implementation:
3 standard coding style & related issues
3 correct procedural logic/method
3 correct assembly/compile/link
16 correct run
--------40 total
The written exams may be a combination of fill-in the blanks, multiple choice,
true/false, and essay questions. The exams will test material presented in the reading
and other assignments, and during class meetings.

Template Rev. 7/24/06
b. Identify other assignments (Required reading, homework, and etc)
The student will have specific assignments to read and master. These assignments are
indicated in the course schedule and/or outlined by the instructor. The student should
have read the material prior to the class meeting date.
c. State make-up and late assignment policies
LATE ASSIGNMENTS:
Assignments turned in late MAY lose 10% per week. Late assignments MAY not
be accepted after two weeks overdue. Please contact instructor regarding the
circumstances of any late work.
MAKE-UP TEST PROCEDURES:
Students MUST be present on the day of an announced test. If the instructor is
informed BEFORE the test concerning a valid absence, other arrangements MAY
be made. There will be no retakes of tests. Test dates are not firm and are
therefore subject to change.
d. Attach schedule of assessments/assignments (See below.)

b. State if papers/projects/tests/etc. will be returned and when
The programming assignments and exams will be returned in class one week after
they are turned in to the instructor. Grades will be reflected on the returned items.
Students may obtain their current cumulative grade from the instructor before or after
class. The exams will be reviewed in class but retained by the instructor.
c. Grade books (grade spreadsheets) should be kept by the instructor for a minimum of
one (1) year.
d. Student tests, papers, projects, etc., that were graded by faculty for determining the
final grade and were not returned to the student, should be kept for one (1) year.
STUDENT EXPECTATIONS
Required Expectations
1. Attendance Policy
Attendance is necessary to understand the course material. Therefore, it is important to be

ADDITIONAL POLICIES
1. ACADEMIC HONESTY STATEMENT
Students are reminded that materials they may use as sources for this course may be
subject to copyright protection. Additional information about copyright is provided on the
library webpage at http://www.mccneb.edu/library, by your instructor, or by the College's
Copyright Officer.
In response to incidents of student dishonesty (cheating, plagiarism, etc.), the College
imposes specific actions that may include receiving a failing grade on a test, failure in the
course, suspension from the College, or dismissal from the College. The disciplinary
procedures are available in the Counseling/Advising Centers or at
http://www.mccneb.edu/procedures/V-4_Student_Conduct_and_Discipline.pdf .
Instructor Policy:
Please note: ANY sharing or transfer of assigned work or test contents or
answers between a student and any other person or party; in part or in whole;
whether by disk exchange, E-mail, manual transcription, co-development of an
assignment, or any other means; unless authorized by the instructor in advance
in accordance with the guidelines in the following paragraph; will be considered
academic misconduct and be sanctioned with disciplinary action in accordance
with the above paragraph. Both originating and receiving parties will be liable to
such sanction.
Sharing of class notes and handouts is authorized. Obtaining assistance from others
(including tutors or lab techs) for specific programming issues or debugging is
authorized. However, no further collaboration is authorized for any standard
assignment. Students wishing to collaborate further must contact the instructor for
special assignments. Such special assignments must clearly identify in advance which
portions are the responsibility of each individual student wishing to collaborate. The
learning objectives, level of difficulty, and typical work involved for each portion
must be comparable to that for a single student working alone on the corresponding
standard assignment. Each portion will be graded individually. Each portion must
clearly represent the competency of the individual responsible for it, and only that
individual. The instructor reserves the right to refuse any request for special
assignments.
Indications of unauthorized collaboration and/or intent to defraud include, but are not
restricted to, assignments, submitted by students (not necessarily from the same
section) individually under each of their respective names; but which are essentially
identical; are essentially identical except for mechanical changes such as differing
variable or module names; are essentially identical except for differing comments; or
exhibit essentially identical idiosyncratic features such as errors in syntax, style,
logic, output formatting, or spelling. The same criteria apply to submissions, by one
or more students, where those submissions bear indications of copying from any other
Metropolitan Community College

Template Rev. 7/24/06
unauthorized source. Authorized sources are the student textbook for the class, lecture
notes, class handouts, and compiler/interpreter documentation and help materials.
In summary, since the instructor must report an individual grade for each student, the
work you submit must be your work and only your work.
2. USE OF STUDENT WORK
The ownership of student works submitted in fulfillment of classroom requirements shall
remain with the student(s): By enrolling in classes offered by Metropolitan Community
College, the student gives the College license to mark on, modify, and retain the work as
may be required by the process of instruction [instructor policy: including the retention
and transmittal of the work for anti-plagiarism purposes], as described in the course
syllabus. The institution shall not have the right to use the work in any other manner
without the written consent of the student(s).
Please note: Nothing in the preceding paragraph overrides the restrictions on
sharing or distribution of solutions to assignments and tests discussed above under
the Academic Honesty Statement.
