The hard part of the course is reading the book and the supplementary material. Homeworks are not collected; however, a variety of worksheets taken from prior exams are available, as are  excerpts from prior exams which are often available to enrich lecture material.

The goal is to stay under the 10 hours per week of work outside of the classroom  recommended for 3 credit classes so that  CMSC411 can be taken with any other course without fear of an overload.

The material can be challenging because  often little emphasis is placed on hardware or on  how programs are processed.  Student backgrounds are not uniform; so, some information will seem too hard to some students and too easy to others.  Exams are designed to be learning tools and to make students think, rather than to have them repeat what they have read.  However, the goal is to stay under the 10 hours per week of  work outside of the classroom  recommended for 3 credit classes so that  CMSC411 can be taken with any other course without fear of an overload.
