Timeline

Spring 2020 – Aug 2020

Overview

Signals and systems course is using TIM system (https://tim.aalto.fi/) foe interactive course material and automatically graded assignments. Currently the course still uses classical pen and paper based mid-term exams and final exam. Since the style of the exam papers differ from the TIM problems, two pen and paper based homeworks are used to prepare the students for the exams. The objective of this project is to develop electronic exams for the course so that the look-and-feel of the course assignments and exam problems would be the same. Also the objective is to reduce the amount of time spend for grading the home works and exams and to give the student faster feedback on their study progress and grade.
