Module 1 Checkpoint — Further Reading
The Module 1 Checkpoint confirms that you can predict, simulate, and reflect on a combinational circuit — the same skills you practised in Lessons 1.1 through 1.8.
What you demonstrated:
- Reading a truth table and predicting a gate's output before running it.
- Running a synthesisable Verilog testbench and interpreting simulation output.
- Articulating why the circuit behaves the way it does.
If any stage felt shaky, revisit the lesson it draws from:
| Stage | Skill | Source lesson |
|---|---|---|
| Predict | Truth-table reasoning | Lesson 1.2 |
| Run | Simulation & testbench reading | Lesson 1.4 |
| Reflect | Articulating combinational behaviour | Lesson 1.8 |
Up next: Module 2 introduces sequential logic — flip-flops, registers, and state machines. The combinational foundation you built here is exactly what you need to reason about what happens between clock edges.
