-  * [[https://github.com/CMU-HKN/CMU-ECE-CS-Guide/blob/master/electives/18447.md |HKN Survival Guide]] (Caveats as of 4/1/2022: (1) Whoever wrote it apparently stopped attending after Lecture 9.  18-447 is decidedly not ONLY about microprocessors or RISC-V.  (2) The course is rated 9 on exam difficulty. The B/C cut-off is set at class average.  Historically, the exams have yielded "normal" bell curves, and one only need to score over ~60% of the points to get a "B" on the exams. You can find actual stats from last year in [[18-447 Course Schedule, Spring 2021 |last year's lecture notes]]. Does that mean 18447 exams are "hard" or "easy"?)  +
