Kursens utveckling

-We will continue to improve lab assignment and project description. For example, many students didn’t know the meaning of “parsing” when they were asked to parse received data in one of the labs (a concept that should have been introduced in previous programming-related courses). -We will continue to develop lecture material. For example, even more emphasis will be put to conversions between analog and digital signals within sensors and in microcontrollers, through more examples, as well as design methods for the project. -We will encourage students to sign up to Middla drop-ins to do ideation (not just making) with one of the teachers. -We will echo Middla rules from the course itself, to encourage students to follow these rules, as this year some of them ignored the Middla manager’s directives about who has access when and under which conditions. -I am considering a change in the grading criteria for PRO1: Making the video documentation a P/F criterion, rather than P+/P/F. In this way, an A in PRO1 would be individually achievable via the (still optional) individual quizzes. FUNKA adaptations would of course be applied, e.g. flexible deadlines for quizzes. -The first catch-up lab session will happen after the deadline for the last lab, so that students make the most out of it. -A deadline for re-submitting all unpassed LAB1 assignments (post formative feedback) will be set and emphasised, to encourage students to be done with LAB1 by the time the examiner does summative feedback of projects and labs.
