Abstract :
This paper examines students´ interpretations of open-ended convolution tasks in order to understand typical approaches students use to arrive at solutions. The goal of the study is to determine which solution approaches are more or less effective for students, as well as understand how signals and systems novices interpret open-ended problems in a course.
