average rate of learning retention from a lecture is relativelylow compared with the learning retention associated with other learning activities such asdiscussion or “practice by doing” [2]. In a recent study, inspired by signals and systems theory, the engineering student learningwas linked to the assessment process that he/she undertakes during his/her studies. Modeled by aso-called “ideal sampler”, the assessment process is perceived as a system that takes a “snapshotof the student’s mind” on a regular basis, reconstructs the (continuous) “knowledge signal”acquired by the student and compares it to a “desired knowledge signal”. The resultingknowledge signal “error” is then used to simultaneously improve learning retention andevaluation
