Frameworks are slow until drilled. Each set below has six short prompts with a model answer outline: cover the whiteboard, speak for two minutes per prompt using Assumption, Mechanism, Trade-off, Evidence, then compare against the outline and score yourself with the rubric. Aim for level 3 or better on every prompt before moving to the scenarios.
Lesson | After it you can... |
|---|---|
Answer six single-bit crossing drills with mechanism and evidence inside two minutes each. | |
Answer six bus, Gray code and FIFO drills including depth and pointer questions. | |
Answer six reset synchroniser, sequencing and RDC drills with ordering arguments. |
Do one set per sitting. The outlines are deliberately sparser than full answers: if you can expand the outline to a level-3 answer without notes, the drill is done.
When you can speak each outline into a level-3 answer, mechanism plus pattern plus evidence, in about two minutes without notes.
