This looks pretty intense. Their time estimates add up to over 35 days (assuming a full 8 hours of work per day) to complete, although some of the estimates seem a bit weird. Basic Linux installation and usage is given 10 hours which seems like it must be very hand holdy.
Also, there are some rough corners. I went to the course material to see what is covered in that 10 hour course and it starts off with:
*Install a Linux operating system*
We will reuse the content from the PA lecture notes.
Please install the Linux operating system according to PA0.
The machine translation of that page is amusing:
The Eve of the World's Birth: Development Environment Setup
The Story of the World's Birth - Prologue
PA tells the story of a “Pioneer Creating a Computer.”
The Pioneer intended to create a computer world.
But even the most skilled cook cannot make a meal without ingredients.
To facilitate the creation of this world, even the Pioneer had to put in considerable effort to prepare.
Let's see what tools he gathered.
Submission Requirements (Please read the following carefully. Violations will be at your own risk)
Estimated Average Time: 10 hoursIn the left menu there's a PA0 item. When you click on it, sub-items appear.
Here is one of the sub-items: https://ysyx.oscc.cc/docs/ics-pa/0.1.html#installing-ubuntu
The directions in question:
Please search the Internet for "Ubuntu 22.04 安装教程" and follow the tutorial.
I would much rather learners be directed at a proper resource for doing something than trying to include all the info locally which inevitably will get out of date and become incomplete.
I think it's a difficult thing to scale. But they're open about the results they've been able to achieve, and the challenge of scaling.
35 days (of 8 hours) is equivalent to 10 ECTS (European Credit thingies).
So equivalent to 2x 90minutes lectures + homework
I’m guessing a good chunk of the page is AI generated - em dashes and random emojis.
Automatic translation, for sure, as evidenced by this sentence in the two's complement section:
In fact, complement is a concept in counting systems, and the Chinese term for it is "complement".
Some folks actually were taught to use em-dashes as part of their normal writing, especially if you've taken a technical writing course.
I dislike that people think you're an AI if you're using proper typography. :(
Just writing multiple paragraphs with compound-complex sentences makes people think you're an AI. :(
That link is in Chinese, not “kanji”.

Thanks, I was looking all over the linked page for some kind of overview.
I still don't get it. It seems to address chinese students and graduates. Are non-chinese learners allowed to register?
