          Welcome to the Electronics Field! 

 

Microprocessors in Products

A person can be hard pressed to name something that does not have electronics associated with it.  In one way or another we are surrounded by electronics! Even education and training in other trades and disciplines are learning certain aspects of electronics from electricians to nurses.  This is not a field of study that will disappear anytime soon.  You'll be glad this class was your first course to learn about ...

his...HOT field!
     

Class 102 Syllabus
Students also please note:
An evaluation is also a form of learning. If you miss something on an evaluation and discover later what the correct response was then you learned from your mistake. Unfortunately, most evaluations will not credit you with the new learning experience. In this class we are concerned with learning. Therefore, I will provide you an avenue to demonstrate any learning obtained even from an incorrect response given on an evaluation.
This avenue will require more of your personal effort, greater demonstration of your subject mastery, and additional personal time. If you want to take on this opportunity then let me know. TheTeach
