Each module leads you through the material in a specific order: simply follow the tabs from left to right. But do also explore the entire course content on your own, look ahead to what is coming later, and browse the rest of this website including the forums.
This course operates a policy of continuous improvement. You will find some content is being revised. Don’t worry, it will be ready in time for you to study it. If you looked at previous versions of the course, the main difference is that we are introducing online quizzes through the semester rather than having one big exam at the end of semester. This was in response to the feedback that students didn’t get feedback, especially on the phon and signals component, until very late in semester. Also, hopefully spreading this out will relieve a bit of the exam/final paper stress that happens in early December.
Unlike last year, we won’t be having a separate Q&A slot as these were not particularly well attended last year. You should still feel free to ask questions during lectures, labs, and on the speech.zone forum!
The readings are specified in each module and are categorised as
- Essential (read all, aiming to complete within the week after the lecture on the module topic)
- Recommended (read if you have time, these readings will deepen your understanding but are not essential)
- Extra (only read if you’re interested or looking for extension material; some readings may be challenging; most are beyond the scope of the course)
Nothing from Sunday, 31 August 2025 to Wednesday, 31 December 2025.
