I also think that trials are a little on the easy side. RCA ALU's I think were generally accepted because students still got to learn exactly how one worked and had to explain its functions in trials, but I have had 2 big problems with the old system:
1: Students were passed without complete probing of their knowledge
2: RCA ALU's are old. Students should at least be taught better ways to make an ALU for the trial, because literally the first step most post-trial users have is to make a cpu, which sucks when they only know how to make a RCA ALU and not even proper registers.
Something probably should be done about this, I have already been teaching students about ICA ALU's pre-trial but again they don't need an ICA to pass a trial.
