Course objectives
At the end of the course student should be able to understand and explain a general technical principles about computer systems operation.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course the student will be able to understand basic principles of digital computers; understand the design of numerical systems used in computer technology and convert numbers between systems; will understand the principles of storing information, coding and storing texts. The student will understand the principles of the elementary processor and its programming at the lowest level. Student general principles compare with a specific implementation on Intel x86 processors and will be able to understand the implemented technologies of paging, caching and some others.

Teaching methods
The course contains facultative lectures and continuous e-learning testing in IS MU. The emphasis is laid on individual independent and continuous computer work during the term.
Assessment methods
The student must complete the weekly interim tasks. Failure to complete the tasks means the awarding of an X grade. The exam will be conducted in the form of an independent solution of the task and the completed work will be graded A-E.
