One-on-one time with a professor is invaluable and there\u2019s only so much to go around. This precious time can seem wasted if it is spent covering topics that could be effectively addressed independently by the student themselves. As a professor, or student, when you feel like your limited time is being wasted, all sorts of terrible emotions like anxiety, frustration or even apathy become way too familiar study buddies. I\u2019ve seen it. I\u2019ve experienced it. No one wants that. No one I know anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/school_chemistry_uganda_teacher_explain_rules_africa_blackboard-544664-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/school_chemistry_uganda_teacher_explain_rules_africa_blackboard-544664-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/school_chemistry_uganda_teacher_explain_rules_africa_blackboard-544664-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/school_chemistry_uganda_teacher_explain_rules_africa_blackboard-544664-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/school_chemistry_uganda_teacher_explain_rules_africa_blackboard-544664-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/school_chemistry_uganda_teacher_explain_rules_africa_blackboard-544664.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Ever take a chemistry class?

Below you will find an updated list of tutorials for all the tools and features that come with the Analog Discovery Studio. With the following tutorials, students and other users have ample resources for learning and troubleshooting using the Analog Discovery Studio and WaveForms software independently. Knowing these resources are available outside lab or lecture, professors can spend their valuable time with students teaching the course curriculum and not focusing too much of that precious time covering how to use the equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ads-in-use-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ads-in-use-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ads-in-use-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ads-in-use-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ads-in-use-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ads-in-use-1200x900-cropped.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>We love the portable thing.
