Abstract
Signals and systems is a well known fundamental course in signal processing. How this course is taught to a student can spell the difference between whether s/he pursues a career in this field or not. Giving due consideration to this matter, this paper reflects on the experiences in teaching this course. In addition, the authors share the experiences of creating and conducting a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on this subject under edX and subsequently following it up with deliberation among some students who did this course through the platform. Further, this paper emphasizes on various active learning techniques and modes of evaluation to ensure effective and holistic learning of the course.Keywords
