Different Ways of Teaching Digital Communication

Abstract

Digital communication is a major course for electronics and information engineering students. The course is complex in theory, closely related with practical communication systems, and its prior courses are difficult. All these factors introduce difficulties and challenges to the teaching activity. In order to improve the teaching quality of the course, we make attempts in six aspects, e.g. reforming the knowledge system based on information flow of communication systems, reorganizing teaching content, online and offline teaching, combination of theories and hardware systems, experiments and finally a comprehensive grading system. These teaching research issues bring benefits to the students, not only in the theory but also the skills in dealing with the practical communication systems. In such a manner, the students will be well-cultivated to be qualified engineering talents with solid theory and strong practical ability.
