This is your crusade... "Stop the culling of Cape Town's baboons! "
This is my crusade.. "Please stop dumbing down todays students!"
This why I usually stay clear of this section of the forum. The policy is to not do a student's homework for them, yet it happens far too often. Todays students have a powerful resource that was not available to my generation, it's called Google. As I see it, our job is to nudge the student into resolving the homework on their own. They also have electronic calculators, Spice, on-line calculators and on and on....
We will never break free of society's accepted mediocrity by doing a students homework for them. If his instructor has given this assignment then he must feel that the class is, or should be, at a level of understanding to do the homework.
If the OP posts his own circuit we can correct errors by coaxing him into troubleshooting the error without actually fixing it for him. He will gain far more understanding and confidence than he will by telling him that the value of Rx should be 1K.
It is my opinion that with todays level of Information Technology there should be no excuse for a sub par student. If, with all this available to today's students, they find they still can't keep up with the class, then it's time to consider another course of study.
If I've offended anyone I'm sorry. Sometimes telling the truth hurts.
