Pre-Lecture Prep

Please spend an hour reading the chapters in the zyBook before class today. Complete the participation activities as you go. If you aren't done after an hour, feel free to stop where you are (as long as I've seen you've made an effort, you'll get credit for participation).

Announcements

• Homework 1 due Tuesday
• Office hours: by appointment (email me if none of those times work)
• I have posted a MIPS reference card which will be useful going forward
  • (There's a bunch of stuff on it that won't make sense right now, but don't worry about it)
