Teaching signal processing according to what your students know

Many professors and instructors fear (or rejoice) that the Internet will someday make their role as teacher obsolete. While the Internet is an incredible repository of knowledge, it is not a repository of experience.

This interplay can increase learning, student engagement, and create new ways to assess the quality of teaching.
