15-minute session: read for 3 minutes, trace for 3, experiment for 7, and complete the check for 2. Spend longer whenever you need.
Choose one small program and two target environments. Record compiler/interpreter version, ISA, OS, input, expected result, actual result, and limitations. Distinguish compile success from a successful target execution. If only one target is available, mark the other untested. Use the official Intel, Arm, and RISC-V references linked in the course resources. Your next step is the core and memory mapping track.
Keep three notes: your prediction, the actual result, and why they match or differ. The completion check grades understanding; the practice task builds skill.
