    I'm in the same boat as you. Haven't the slightest ****ing clue what's going on at all.

    Same,

    You wouldn't be doing Mech/Choice/Biomed/Aero would you? I'm doing mech and apparently it's normal that we don't understand it.

    I saw your past exam papers... I'd say electrical engineers would struggle with that kinda stuff...

    I'm biomed. And good, glad we aren't supposed to understand, of course that wont be much help to us when we have to sit the repeats in august! haha

    I'm already repeating maths I think. Don't want to add anymore to it. Trying to find the easiest way to get 50% if possible.

    How did ya do in the lab reports? Mine were pretty well done and I only managed 10%! So p*issed off about it!

    Aweful, Think my average was 1.5/4. The total marks for the lab are only 10% though aren't they?

    Its not that bad of a module... Though it did take me another module or two to get my head around the capacitors side of it... If your only looking for the pass, stick with the pure resistance questions, your much more likely to understand them! For the questions themselves, its often helpful to just redraw the circuit diagram in a form your more familiar with (voltage on left, ground at bottom, etc. ) Then just see what the resistance is spread across, and where the currents are going...

    Yea, not that he's bad or anything. I just don't get it.

    Thanks for the advice :) Think I'll just do the 1st 3 questions on the paper and hope that that will pass me!

    I don't think many people get it.. I'm mid into 2nd year and I still have no clue how to solve basic circuits(don't even get me started with ac signals, inductors or capacitors jeez), its a desperate subject.

    At least he was sound enough to cap everyone at a c3 when I did it.

    Nope it's worth 20% of our marks altogether.

    Wasn't attendance+class exam worth 5% each?

    Was it? =/ I dunno, maybe it was. The final exam is worth 80% anyway, I know that much for definite.

    Yea, it says it on the paper :D

    Thank God for emigration ,because judging by a lot of the posts on here the country wouldn't want to be depending on ye lot to sort it out. I'd say the notion of a hard days work would be foreign to most of ye.

    You will find if you look that there are more jobs than graduates in this area, and its immigration is the case rather than emigration. Especially when it comes to analogue electronics. Unfortunately people do not seem to have an interest in this sector, possibly largely due to the fact that it is not promoted at the school level.
