Logic circuits are a central concept in understanding how computers and electronics work underneath. While there are educational, web-based systems for visualizing and building circuits, few systems exist which are capable of providing automatically assessed exercises with visual feedback on the topic. In this paper, we describe the lechef library for providing exercises on logic circuits. The library supports two types of exercises: 1) giving students a logic circuit and the input to the circuit asking them to give the input and output values for each gate in the circuit, and 2) giving students a truth table of the wanted circuit and requiring them to construct a circuit fulfilling the requirements. Furthermore, we explain how we integrated it into the ViLLE learning environment and used it on our introductory computer science course. We also report on our initial findings on student experiences on using the exercises as well as their results. We believe the system and our experiences provide valuable feedback to other members of the community on how and why to use such exercises. |
