How to Use This Course

Daily rhythm

1. Read one lesson (10–15 min) — note the interview prompt verbatim.

2. Close the page; sketch on paper or SV Editor without looking (15–20 min).

3. Read pitfalls and smoke test; say Q&A answers aloud (10 min).

4. Optional: Code lab exercise if linked.

Tools

• Paper + pen for true whiteboard simulation.

• SV Editor for syntax check after sketch — not during first pass.

• Waveform only after smoke sim — not during sketch.

When to use Code lab

Use read-only lessons for interview prompts and Q&A. Use Code lab when you need a starter file, compiler, or saved workspace — levels 8–10 map to this course.
