Great Course! However sometimes I feel the course is too theoretical, too much complicated formaula, and not too much explanation on the practical side, or applications.

A few errors in the lessons, some material was unclear and poorly connected to the worksheets, but overall still very good.I would give a 4.5/5, but 5/5 is reaching too much.

Electronics is one of the hard to learn subjects using internet. I am studying computer science and I could not find good introduction course for electronics except this. Thank you!
