[Elecraft] OT: MITx Kick Off - Sign Up for Circuits and Electronics

[Rick McClelland, AA5S]

Congratulations, Kevin on completing the course and doing well.  It is
heart-breaking to see the postings from the people who missed the final for
what-ever reason or missed a C by a single point.  I, too, hadn't heard of
this course before Bill sent that email so I think we both must have signed
up about the same time.  Yes, it is really nice to have a better
understanding of circuits than before.  For me, I really had no clear idea
what OP amps were doing or the small-signal behavior of MOSFETs.  I think I
prefer the slower manner of studying that I used when I originally obtained
my ham ticket to the fire-hose approach but I'm still quite please that I
was able to take the course.  I would definitely recommend these courses to
others with the caveat that they should have plenty of time available to
dedicate to studying because the recommended ten hours a week probably
isn't enough for most people.
