Nnanna MosesIn my journey towards bioelectric I'm for once overwhelmed by the way learning electricity went on here, it was broken down into pieces making it easy for any learner that would come across it (the lecture) very easy to assimilate and also put it to practice in a way it will not be disastrous as we know that electricity needs 100% cautionâš to manipulate/work on -
This online course is a great course for anyone starting in electrical engineering like myself. It explains important topics like circuits and electromagnetism in a really clear and simple way. The examples in the videos help a lot in understanding the concepts. The series of videos are well-organized and build on each other, which makes learning easier. It could use more practice problems, and thought, to help apply what you learn in each video. Overall, it's an awesome online course for beginners who are thinking of doing electrical engineering in college and making the complicated stuff easier to get.
