Utility · for the review days
Resources
A review week's best resources are the course's own pages, so most of this shelf points inward: the question bank the hubs already wrote, the two clinics, and the equation card. The outward links are the learning science the method stands on, the same evidence base Week 7 opened, extended one result.
What governs
- The Fall 2026 course outline, on Omnivox: the exam's coverage, format, rules and weight (15 %), and the calendar of record.
- The LIA brief, on Omnivox, for D3's exact contents; the milestones page carries its logic.
The learning science
- Testing effect (Wikipedia): retrieval practice beats restudy, the Roediger & Karpicke (2006) result the ladder is built on.
- Active recall and the forgetting curve (Wikipedia): Week 7's foundations, unchanged; spacing works because forgetting makes retrieval effortful, and effort is the active ingredient.
The question bank, assembled
| Source | What it drills | Rung |
|---|---|---|
| Check-yourself sets, W8 through W12 (every stage page) | Applied questions with model answers, three per page across the whole post-midterm arc | 2 |
| Week 7's practice exam | The foundations half, under paper conditions | 2–3 |
| The journey and the card, blank-page versions | Closed-book reconstruction of the structure and the numbers | 3 |
| Both clinics: part one, part two | The distractors, met in daylight before they appear in exam clothes | 2, then 5 |
| Your reflection log and journal | Your personal misconception record: what confused you once is the paper's favourite well | 3–4 |
| The bench itself, predictions written first | QoS, retained, the walls, the loop: every claim this course made is runnable | 5 |
Reference, if a topic reopens
Gaps route to sources, not summaries: each week's own resources page holds its verified references, W8 (MicroPython, ADC, PWM), W9 (MQTT, Mosquitto, paho, umqtt), W10 (control, PID), W11 (Flask, Jinja, MDN), W12 (skeletons, integration, systemd), with Week 7's master library holding the foundations. The project hub's shelf gathers all of it by subsystem for the build weeks ahead.
