Learning circuit theory:

This is a problem-solving course emphasizing analysis, but also including design and evaluation. The importance of working out the homework problems yourself cannot be over-emphasized. Looking over other people’s solutions is no substitute for working the problems on your own. If you don’t do the problems, you won’t learn circuit theory. You should work through all of the example problems as you read the text and read the unassigned problems at the end of each chapter to determine if you know how to approach their solutions.
