Overview

My Teaching Philosophy

My teaching philosophy is based on two principles : (a) Active student learning strongly influences student-learning

outcomes

- Appreciate Signal Processing - A positive atmosphere - Activity based learning (Presentation) (b) Assessment procedures strongly influence student acquisition of

knowledge. -Group Assignments -Feedback

My Teaching Philosophy –Contd..

•  Course Title : Digital Communication Theory •  •  Course code: EC6DCDCT

•  Status : Undergraduate

•  Students : 60

•  Syllabus :

Unit-1 - Sampling theorem Unit-2 – DM, ADM Unit-3 – ISI Eye Pattern, Adaptive Equalization Unit-4 – QPSK and M-ary Signaling Schemes Unit-5 – Application of Spread Spectrum ( CDMA)

Experimental Course-contd..

•  Changes made based on based on Theory and Practices learned during the course:

- Course objectives - Course Planning Macro document - Course Description Sheet - Lesson Planning Sheet( Day wise) - Student Introduction Card - Setting the tone on the first day of class - Industry Visit + Extension Lecture Series

Active Learning

Mobile Architecture Mobile Architecture

-‐Positive first impressions ( Thought provoking questions / Self Introduction)

• Can you imagine if a Mobile phone manufacturing takes place in India what would be its economical consequence”? ( make in India policy by Indian PM)

-Clarify Learning Objectives and Expectation -Help students learn about each other - Student Introduction - Design an Ice Breaker activity - Whet students’ appetites for course content

-  Start Solving the problem

Four independent message signals of bandwidths W, 2W, 2W and 4W hertz are to be transmitted on a TDM basis using a common channel. Design a suitable ASYNCHRONOUS – TDM system.

In PCM system, it is often found that encoded signal contains redundant information if the samples of the signal are highly correlated (over sampling case). How to overcome this problem.

Call on several individuals to share responses

Form 7 Teams

Each team shares one response with Class.

Active Learning-contd..


Reflection: Activity 1: Think pair Share It worked very well. 48 students have participated in this activity. The major challenge is I could not call many individuals if answer found correct Activity 2: In-Class Team Class strength was 45. Therefore team size was big which has resulted in lot of noise in the class room . However activity went very well and out of 7 teams two teams could able to suggest the best solution.

Sampling Theorem

Present Applications Pictures and hands on demo when possible

Begin with the applications where sampling is used. 1.  Speech Signal Processing 2.  Image Signal Processing

3.  Video Processing -  Accurate sampling results in better

quality video signal transmission. 1.  Play a video clipping to demonstrate

Speech signal sampling. Ask students to observe the changes happening during different sampling frequencies.

2.  Present the statement of sampling theorem. Deduce the consequences

3.  Time for reflection 4.  Creative exercise- Ask students to

simulate sampling theorem using MATLAB taking their own speech signal as an example.

Sensing / Sequential Sensing / Visual Sequential Reflective Intuitive / Global

•  The entire exercise worked very well for me. •  To my surprise more 93 % of students understood the concept of

•  Students are formed into a group of four mixed in performance level, sex and ethnicity

•  Discussed the objective (3) of the course and grading policy

•  Distributed the materials on the topic of interest ( ISI) and allowed to access Internet through their phone / laptops

•  20 minutes time will be allocated to address each objective and individual quiz will be taken to measure their learning.( They will not be allowed for discussion).

•  Individual Quiz and Group Quiz taken to measure their learning

•  Overall grade = 2/3 individual grade + 1/3 group grade.

•  . The group which scores highest marks was awarded.

Collaborative Learning Activity

Student Team Achievement Division ( STAD)

Challenges 1. Forming a group mixed in performance level, sex and ethnicity 2. Setting clear and effective objectives in context to the outcome of the course 3. Designing the Quiz / template to monitor the progress
