Prestudy overview

Since the third session of "One Student One Chip", we have received many inquiries from students like who have no basic knowledge but love to learn and whether they can participate in "One Student One Chip". There is no doubt that we very much welcome students who love study so much to participate. But we also need to respect the rules of study: students with no basic knowledge should spend more time laying a good foundation before entering the formal study stage. Therefore, "One Student One Chip" has set up a preliminary stage for everyone check whether you have mastered enough knowledge base to enter the formal study stage.

The preliminary stage mainly includes the following contents:

  1. To fill in the learning record every day, you can refer to the learning record form (template)open in new window, which is necessary for subsequent tape-out.
  2. Read two articles about how to ask questions and write a review of no less than 800 words.
