Department of Automatic Control and Systems Evaluation of independent learning 14 1 Most of the activities were considered positive by the students (if you ignore the usual petty complaints from a few) 2 However, the learning of programming (MATLAB) received a significant minority of more consistent complaints Several students just could not learn this even with good support materials and weekly labs 3 By contrast,... by using them 2010 Department of Automatic Control and Systems Conclusions • Although we will not claim students are now highly proficient at problem solving with MATLAB, it is clear that they are much more positive about the expectation that they learn it by themselves • A key aim of year 1 is to get students to engage with and accept independent learning – we believe introducing these resources has... 2010 Department of Automatic Control and Systems Student evaluation (year 2) 32 The majority of students agreed that independent learning skills are important (less than 20\% disagreed) However, when the question was specific to MATLAB 55\% thought the balance was good and 45\% the opposite Nevertheless, this was much more favourable than the response for other topics Student grades: the performance on...
