What This Document Is
This is an Instructor Guide specifically designed to accompany Lab 02 for ELENG 20: Structure and Interpretation of Systems and Signals at UC Berkeley. It’s a resource intended for instructors facilitating the lab session, offering insights into the expected student experience and potential challenges they might encounter. This guide focuses on practical application of concepts learned in the course within a LabVIEW environment. It’s not a student-facing tutorial, but rather a support tool for those leading the lab.
Why This Document Matters
This guide is essential for instructors teaching ELENG 20 Lab 02. It helps ensure a smooth and effective lab session by anticipating common student difficulties and providing guidance on how to address them. It’s particularly useful during lab preparation and while assisting students during the exercise. Access to this guide will allow instructors to maximize student learning and provide targeted support where needed, ultimately enhancing the overall lab experience. It’s best utilized *before* and *during* the lab session itself.
