EP#412: Great Classes, Odd Teachers, Chickens, Snakes

A recent Circuit Break Community thread about K-map design inspired a tangential conversation about how well certain subjects are taught in college. Parker and Stephen love a good tangent, thank you, and so they dug in by recalling their own experiences at school with excellent professors who clearly wanted electrical engineers to succeed, while other instructors and their teaching methods were challenging or else just downright bizarre. Other topics covered here include:

  • How a terrible electronics professor can impact someone’s career
  • Is a “self-paced” classroom really just lazy teaching?
  • Still not knowing how Bode plots work
  • A strange digital circuits analogy where chickens and snakes are shocked
  • Watching videos like you’re in A Clockwork Orange
  • A grade curve so severe, a 17% was a B
  • Classes and profs we loved
  • Was a class hard, or was the professor just absolute garbage?
  • Still having nightmares about forgetting to go to class for a whole semester
  • Heat Shrink Voltage Ratings
  • +more
