In summary, the person is struggling with their electronics course and is looking for recommendations for other books or study methods. They are using the book "Microelectronics" by Neamen, which they find to be dense and tangential. They also mention their professor's conversational teaching style and lack of organization in the material. Another person offers to send them their course notes and suggests reviewing basic circuit theory. Someone else suggests trying to match theoretical values with practical values.

Hello all,
I was dreadful at circuits and am now suffering in Electronics. It is almost as though I have trouble looking at them from the perspective of what I have to do when presented with a problem. I sort of freeze. It doesn't help that my professor is conversational in tone without a lot of organization of the material. My book is dense and also very tangential. Any recommendations for other books or study methods? Your insights would be appreciated.

I'm using the same book for my electronics course. I'm currently in the first "half" of the book.

Is it the electronics material that's giving you issues, or is it basic circuit theory that's giving you struggle? Basically, do you understand KVL and KCL, and how to apply them?

I can send you some of my course notes if that would help at all.

Hi Snowman,
I think it is probably a bit of both. You have made me think. Perhaps I'll start reviewing basic circuit theory.
