I tought DSP to juniors for eight years and the results were mixed. Most do not understand the use of the (to them) complex mathematical machinery, the typical response was "why do we need this stuff". I think teaching Fourier series is a better start than the FT, since FT more advanced. The article indeed proceeds like that so the title is a bit of a misnomer. Similar to the article I used the example of recipes, but rather than cooking I used the example of mixing drinks. It's uprising how many cocktails share the same ingredients.
