This course introduces the basic theory of electrical linear networks as well as the application of basic electronic devices. Students are first provided with the analytical tools to solve linear resistive networks and to derive linear equivalent networks. These formal methods are then generalized to include reactive components, such as capacitors and inductors, analyzing the network behaviors both in frequency (AC steady state analysis) and in time (transient analysis).
The second part of the course will introduce the basic electronics components such as operational amplifiers, diodes and transistors, with special emphasis on the practical use and applications. Students will use operational amplifiers to design simple linear filters. Diodes and transistors will be used in nonlinear applications such as rectifiers and digital logic.

This mod is relatively doable if you have enough practice. The recorded lams lectures for the part on AC and amplifier is rather difficult to understand due to the prof’s monotonous speech. However, the review live lecture by prof Dino and prof domenico makes up for it. So do remember to attend it.
Do expect the finals to be slightly more challenging than the tutorials and CAs.
