OBJECTIVES:OBJECTIVES:

• Introduces students to the basic laws, theorems and methods of DC and AC circuit analysis. These include Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff Current and Voltage Laws, Thevenin and Norton theorems, circuit reduction techniques, voltage and current division rules.

• Develops skills and confidence to solve and analyse various linear

DC and AC electric circuits.

Hints on how to get good grades :Hints on how to get good grades :

• Come to lectures (with some preparation)

• Ask questions in class if you don’t understand

• Do your homework on time

• Come and see me if you have problems

• Always prepare for quizzes

• Minimize memorizing, maximize understanding

• Sit for your tests and exams

• Solve as many problems as you can

Secondary school /Matriculation University

Classes are normally small – Teacher memorized students’ names – teacher taught and you listened

Read books do problems answers are in the books - memorizing

Read and understand the concepts apply the concepts to new problems – its not just memorizing

Understand the lectures in real-time – review is in the form of doing exercises and getting the correct answers

Don’t expect to understand the lectures in real-time review lecture notes within 24 – take notes – understand the previous lectures before attending the new ones – be an active listener

Larger classes – need to pay more attention – get involve in discussion – don’t make your own conclusion, ask the lecturers

Secondary school /Matriculation University

5 days a week – 6 hours a day, a total of 30 hours per week. Homework 1.5 hours per day = 7.5 hours per week. Total commitment required = 37.5 hours per week . Somebody will monitor your time management.

14 credits. This require 14 x 3 = 42 hours per week outside class. Total commitment required = 56 hours per week . Nobody will force you to study; you have to manage your time. You are in control of your own learning.
