Abstract

Meaningful learning is often regarded as the ultimate learning status for a learner, regardless of the learning environment. Digital signal processing (DSP) is a core paper for students of Electronics and Communication. Unlike other subjects, DSP is considered to be a tough subject by students. In this paper, we provide suggestions for instructors and designers so that they can promote the quality of learning. This paper was inspired by various research outcomes in pedagogical teaching methods with respect to digital signal processing in which many researchers have discussed on ways to improve a classroom environment. Those ideas are discussed in this paper and then supplemented with general advice and specific suggestions from the experience of the faculties who handle digital signal processing for quite some time.
