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, 32bit 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 high-level constructs, explain how highlevel languages implement their high-level constructs at the lower levels, and explain how highlevel language compilers (such as C++) translate from their high-level language into lower-level
code.
(See Study Guide handout for more detailed objectives.)

ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT WORK
TYPES OF ASSESSMENT/ASSIGNMENTS:
a. Types of student work (Quizzes/Exams/Papers/Projects/etc) that will be assessed
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.
b. Other assignments (Required reading, homework, and etc) and/or class participation
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. How assessments are measured, how students will receive assignments, and how assignments
will be submitted
See above. Assignments are announced verbally in class, with a recap on the instructor’s web
site for this course. Assignments should be submitted in printed form to facilitate the
assessment process. Assignment files should also be submitted to the instructor via
removable media or e-mail.
d. 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.
e. How/when you will give student feedback on their progress
Grades will be reflected on the returned items. Students may obtain their current cumulative
grade from the instructor before or after class.
f. When papers/projects/tests/etc. will be returned
The programming assignments and exams will be returned in class one week after they are
turned in to the instructor. The exams will be reviewed in class but retained by the instructor.

INSTRUCTOR’S EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENT
ATTENDANCE POLICY:
The course will be covered partially by assigned portions of the text and may be presented in a sequence different from the
text. Material will also be covered that is not in the text. Attendance is necessary to understand the course material. Each
student is expected to recognize the importance of class attendance and promptness. CHRONIC TARDINESS AND
ABSENCES MAY RESULT IN A REDUCTION IN THE FINAL GRADE BY 10%. If a student should miss a class for any
reason, he/she is expected to cover the material he/she missed on his/her own. All work must be made up to the satisfaction
of the instructor.
The following interprets (new) college attendance policy and may be subject to adjustment.
 Students who attend no class meetings up to and including the Section Census Date published in the Class Schedule
at www.mccneb.edu/schedule/default.asp may be disenrolled from the class [i.e., the instructor reports a “WX”].
There is no appeal for this disenrollment.
 On July 1, 1995, federal financial aid regulations began requiring educational institutions to track all financial aid
students who receive grades of "F" to determine if they received the "F" because of non-attendance. If a student
receives an "F" grade for non-attendance [reported as “FX” by the instructor], the Financial Aid office must return
all or a portion of the student's federal funds to either the student loan lender or to the Department of Education.
Students receiving financial aid and who receive an “FX” grade are considered to have unofficially withdrawn from
the class and may be required to return some or all of the financial aid funds they received for taking a class or
classes. “FX” grades appear on official transcripts. The “FX” grade does affect GPA calculations in the same
manner as “F.” A student who fails to meet class attendance expectations may receive a final grade mark of “FX,”
indicating an absence-related failure, or a failing (F) grade. If an instructor issues a grade of “F,” the college will
assume that the student completed the course and “earned” the “F” grade.
 Current policy of instructor: unless there is documented instructor assent to an alternative means to meet course
requirements, your grade will be reported as “FX”
o If your final grade computation is “F,” AND you have not attended class for two weeks or more,
cumulative; OR
o If you have not attended class for four weeks or more, cumulative, regardless of final grade computation;
OR
o If you fail to take either the mid-term OR the final exams or both.
 Also remember, to remain eligible for financial aid, students are responsible for meeting Satisfactory Academic
Progress standards (http://www.mccneb.edu/fa/standards_of_progress.asp,
http://www.mccneb.edu/catalog/financialaid.asp,
http://www.mccneb.edu/bogpolicies/policies/40000/40302_student_academic_progress_and_review_of_academic_s
tatus.htm, and http://www.mccneb.edu/catalog/academicinformation.asp#standardsacademicprogress).
COMMUNICATION EXPECTATIONS:
When you communicate with others in this course, you must follow the Student Code of Conduct
(http://www.mccneb.edu/catalog/studentinformation.asp), which calls for responsible and cooperative
behavior. Please think critically, ask questions, and challenge ideas, but also show respect for the
opinions of others, respond to them politely, and maintain the confidentiality of thoughts expressed in
the class. You may also wish to review information at http://www.albion.com/netiquette/.html.
ACADEMIC HONESTY STATEMENT:
Students are reminded that materials they use as sources for classwork may be subject to copyright
protection. Additional information about copyright is provided on the library website at
http://www.mccneb.edu/library or by your instructor.
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. Disciplinary procedures are available in the
Metropolitan Community College

Template Rev. 7/24/06
Advising/Counseling Centers or at http://www.mccneb.edu/procedures/V4_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 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.
STUDENT WITHDRAWAL:
If you cannot participate in and complete this course, you should officially withdraw by calling Central Registration at 402457-5231 or 1-800-228-9553. Failure [to meet the attendance and participation requirements of the course and] to officially
withdraw will result in either an attendance-related failure (FX) or failing (F) grade, [unless there is documented instructor
assent to alternative means to meet course requirements]. [The former procedure for instructor withdrawal of a student
(“IW”) is no longer available.] The last date to withdraw is noted in the CLASS IDENTIFICATION section of this syllabus.
