I'm a rising second year computer science student at Churchill College, University of Cambridge.
Our director of studies (https://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/university-archives/glossary/director-of-studies, https://www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/why-cambridge/cambridge-explained ) set us summer work.
The summer work is meant to prepare us for (some of) next year's course(s): https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/teaching/2223/part1b.html (this is for last year's second years so our courses might be every so slightly different)
Although not copyrighted, I will not share the worksheet as I have not asked for permission to do so. I will instead give a brief overview.
Compilation: read chapter 1-4 of the dragon book, answer 6 bookwork questions, and write a lexer and parser for a calculator
Digital Communication: Read Computer networks: a systems approach and answer 11 bookwork questions
Computer Design: read Computer Architecture: a quantitative approach and answer 10 bookwork questions
As you can tell, the bulk of the work is in the form of reading. If I end up reading a different textbook from those recommended that covers the same material I will consider that has having completed the summer work as well.
I have heard that this work is difficult and that in previous years very few people completed it.

@Nils also, have you tried cooperating with someone? (As in https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/ztwDeXLZaquKNdf7y/the-apprentice-thread-2)
@AnT the textbook should give me the knowledge I mean so I probably won't. I'm trying to spend as little time as possible on this
