I'm on chapter 3, and since the beginning of the course, I've had to come to the forums for hints in implementing almost every chip. It takes me about an hour of errors, troubleshooting, and contemplating before I come up with the correct implementation for each chip. I feel that I'm taking too long and am experiencing much more difficulty than the typical student of this course.

I've read through chapter 3, the appendices, watched the Coursera lectures, went through the lecture slides, and also read through the HDL survival guide.

Do you have any recommendations for other prerequisite material that might help me before I continue on?

Thank you.
