I just got out of my Digital Circuits class a little bit ago. My instructor is kind of hard to follow some times. There are instances, were i think since it is so easy for him that he thinks we should all know it already or learn it very quickly. He also moves very quickly and can get kind of scattered when explaining something. For me it is a class were i have to keep doing the problems over and over again to get a good grasp on it. Once i have done the problems a few times its not as hard and I am getting the hang of it. For instance we are getting ready to start chapter 3 and today i finally got one of the problems i had been working on in chapter one. He said he was going to slow down, we shall see.
  Today though was not to bad, we got to use a computer program called "multisim" Which is a program where you can design electrical circuits. It was kind of frustrating at first not being able to get my circuit complete. After a few second looks I found what I had messed up. There is just so many things you can do so there is a lot of places to mess up. Once I finished and everything was working, we had to use some tools on it to get a visual read out of the input and output waves. We used a "Oscilloscope" or scope for short. I bet i tried 15 different ways of hooking it up and mine did not look anything like what it was supposed to. So i asked my instructor and he was able to help I would have never tried changing the voltage. So now I know, always look for more than the obvious. 
  

Hi, I'm Harold
 I am going to school for Manufacturing Engineering. I also work full-time at DTR Ind. in Bluffton. I haven't worked in a factory as long as some people, but i feel i have worked in one long enough to know I want to be the person that can make their lives better by helping to engineering more efficient and ergonomically correct machines. To less-in the work load and bodies of  the machine operators. I really enjoy learning everything I can to help me be able to succeed at this, even the the difficult parts. I am taking a digital circuits class this semester and I feel it is going to be one of my hardest classes. I never knew what the binary code was let alone what is was used for or in. It is very complex and confusing to me right now but for some reason I'm still intrigued and really wanting to learn it. I,m very excited to see what lie's ahead.
