I am in that class at college, and it is really hard!!! I have had a sighted student use Wiki Sticks to make diagrams of things, either that or thermoform. We are doing caches right now and I have NO idea what is going on, and the stupid textbook makes no sense because the guy reading keeps talking about the diagram he failed miserably in describing. I am glad this semester will be over in a week. To answer your question, you will most likely need sighted help, and help that is very good at describing images and adapting them at that. I wish there was another way, I really do, but the problem with circuitry like this is that it is too small to feel and no one has made a largeer scale model of it to use as a hands-on example. 

Have a great day,
Alex

Subject: is there an accessible way to learn Computer

organization&architecture?


Hi all,
Is there any book or anything which is accessible to learn

subject

like computer organization and architecture? I'm just leafing

through

logic circuits section inclusive of adders, flip-flops, registers

etc

and finding myself in serious trouble to comprehending each of

them

without sighted asistance.



I googled for the solution but found nothing even somewhat closer

to

some sourt of satisfaction.
