Hello ladies and Gentlemen,
Sitting in my room trying to decide whether I should give up on Digital electronics at this moment. I was always fascinated by analog electronics. I always enjoy learning new material about analog electronics or electric circuits. The problem is that the electronics program I am in, really loads me up with all this digital electronics nonsense that I absolutely hate learning about and even though I've come to understand most material, I won't be able to achieve a good grade this term due to my constant absences in the labs and lectures for digital electronics. My Exams are next week and I know I will do well on the analog electronics, electric circuits, and basically everything else except for digital. I only managed to do 2 labs out of 10 for digital electronics this semester and I missed my lab test today. Three weeks ago I wrote and passed my midterm test for digital electronics. I basically slacked off from there (on digital electronics only) and today I decided to finish off the labs at home but to my surprise, I forgot most of the material that I learned about digital electronics this semester. I have a tendency to forget things almost instantly if I am not interested in the subject. At this point I hate digital so much that I want to rip my textbook into tiny pieces and set it on fire. Oh by the way, the textbook is written in a horrible way, it utilizes language and sentence structures that will probably give lawyers a hard time understanding it. And most of the material the "authors" write in this book can be cut down in size by at least 4 times. Why do these "authors" write essays on something that can be explained in 2-3 simple sentences? If my textbook on digital electronics was written as good as my other textbooks on analog electronics and electric circuits by Floyd and Cook, perhaps I wouldn't be facing this problem. That’s my story for tonight; I would like to hear your comments on this issue. Are there any possible solutions for me to start enjoying digital as much as I enjoy analog?
Thanks for your time!
