308L class feedback - GilesVolmir/Skylar-Scott--308L-Junior-Lab GitHub Wiki

Good parts (parts I liked):

• Laid back attitude of class. I feel like I learned more and the emphases was on learning, not on accomplishing a certain work amount.

• Op Amps are fascinating. Oh and they're useful too.

• Arduino definitely has a place in this class and is a lot of fun.

• Git and Github have been useful tools, I am glad to have learned them. Unfortunately learning these seems to have accounted for a large part of the delay in what seems to be to be the meat of the class.

Bad parts (parts I didn't like):

• The twitter lab. It was sort of interesting to use twitter as a conference tool sort of thing, but I found it completely out of place in an electronics lab, even though it is technology based.

• The Arduino project seemed out of the blue, I found myself wishing I had experience with Arduino before having a project due in 3 weeks. Perhaps having an earlier lab in Arduino then coming back to it would help? It would feel like returning to something we have learned, instead of having the final a separate branch of class.

• The class took what seemed like a long time to really get going, and I wish we had gotten a little farther in analog electronics.

Comment from Ant: Excellent, really good feedback! The arduino project was out of the blue. I came up with it the week before the Op-Amp lab. And we tried to get arduinos in sooner so you could play with them but we never got the go ahead to purchase anything until later in the semester (when I actually did get to buy them).
