[Amps] Basic Electronics

[Joe Isabella]

I'm pretty sure that the ARRL has a "Basic" course on video.  I've seen it in QST.

Dear Dan,

The difficulty with a syllabus called "Basic Electronics," is firstly
a starting point decision.

When i was twelve I toojk a basic electronics course that started with 
basic electricity and covered polarity, Ohm's Law, Workmanship, etc.

When I was eighteen I took a basic Electricity course that covered
electronics,
and that again started with craftsmanship and practical circuit design.

When I was 28 I enrolled in a Basic Electronics course as part of
a continuing ed deal while I was at IBM. This course began, yes began,
with Thevenin's Theorem and had practically nothing to do with 
craftsmanship or common design issues or anything pertaining to what
I was dealing with on an everyday basis. The instructor handled the 
sessions like lab and tutorial instead of lecture and lab. 
He would move around the classroom and sit with each student
working out a problem, step-by-step.

That's why I'm not sure about the viability of a video
electronics course. In addition, I spent nearly fifteen
years in an Apprenticeship, where learning the telephone
central office was part of the job, and as important as
productivity.
