[medium noise filtered]We stopped teaching C
summary
Course stops teaching plain C and adopts a constrained C++ subset plus Python for early labs, removing scanf/printf and many low‑level quirks in favor of cin/cout, examples and one‑goal exercises. Students still must read datasheets and deliver an individual final project that interfaces a peripheral chip; many teams add ESP8266 Wi‑Fi add‑ons and cheap Chinese microcontrollers. Outcome: fewer syntax roadblocks, more working hardware demos across ~50–60 students in the large integrated project.
