Passed Computer architecture C952

Hello everybody, I just passed computer architecture today on my first OA. People aren’t lying when they say this course is packed full of information. Going through the Zybooks was a little overwhelming for me after a few chapters, and studying the flashcards were awful as usually, as I absolutely hate flashcards haha. With that being said here’s what worked for me..

I found this post below on the WGU engineering discord after searching c952.

This post was writing by “Oremor” and it was a very detailed outline of how they passed the class in about 6 weeks of study time.

What I did first was utilized ChatGPT to study all the PA questions, and have it test me a ton on concepts until they stuck. Then once I felt comfortable with those concepts, I referenced all three study guides Oremor linked in the post, and input them in ChatGPT. From those I had chat create another outline on topics we hadn’t covered in detail and hit on those until I felt I was getting a good understanding of how things worked. Also studying all the 10 recommended concepts Oremor discussed at the top of his post helped me tremendously. The whole study plan was basically days of chat and myself going back and forth until I understood things in detail. There were still concepts on the OA I hadn’t touched but felt like I knew enough of the material to reason through them. If this post is confusing, or the link isn’t working, feel free to reach out. Thanks Oremor!! And good luck everyone!

15 dollars out the door!

Found this lamp at our local Habitat for Humanity ReStore with no price tag and was able to get it for $15. Didn’t know what it was at first, but the old New York studio sticker on the bottom caught my eye, luckily haha.

A few days later I got looking at it again and notice “Orrefors” stamped into the nickle plate at the top. After a little bit of research, I decided to take the base apart and when I did, I found “Orrefors RD 2052” etched into the crystal.

Turns out it appears to be a vintage Orrefors crystal lamp from the late 60s/70s associated with Carl Fagerlund. Before this I knew nothing about crystal, and I think it’s fair to say that I don’t know much more now, but I do in fact know a little bit more haha. At least enough to keep my eyes open!
