Course development

>> Lectures - Evaluate possibility of teaching z-transform earlier in the course (e.g., Lecture 2). - Improve the general structure of the lecture contents and their correspondence with home assignments. >> Home Assignment 1 (part of LAB1) - Check the definition of kurtosis in built-in MATLAB vs book. - Sounds 1-4: None of them are periodic/deterministic. It would be good to have at least one so the assignment assesses that concept, too. - No hearable differences in 8- and 16-bit signals in 3.1. >> Home Assignment 2 (part of LAB1) - Reformulate the question in 1.2.2. - Remove rms amplitude scaling in 1.2.4 and 1.2.5. - In 2.4: problem with listening to the audio files with 128 downsampling. - In 2.3, the text “compare that they are the same” is invalid. >> Home Assignment 4 (part of LAB1) - Task 1: Compute coherence with rectangular window and compare results - Use auto-correlation to quantify time delay in one of the filtering assignments. - Task 4.1.2. and a Chebyshev >> Laboratory activity (LAB2) - We will ensure that the equipment in the labs is fully functional and up to date. >> Canvas course website - Make sure to post grades in Canvas only to those students who submitted assignments (i.e., avoid unnecessary spam). - Make sure to be consistent and more detailed in the feedback given by the teachers to the students on their submitted assignments.
