If  this is a new topic for you, the series of videos found in Modules 1 and 2 should be viewed & understood to fully understand the sample video Module 3.  Module 1 is an introduction to the circuit variables and Module 2 covers Basic Circuit Analysis.

MODULE 4

ACTIVE CIRCUITS 

Video Module 4 - Active Circuits.  The module is not only important to electrical engineering but to other engineering disciplines as well.  An introduction to modern electronic devices and how they are modeled is given.  This discussion will be useful when you start designing OP AMP circuits that conditions the signals (e.g. amplification and level shifting) for instrumentation systems.  You will have a chance to evaluate alternative design using criteria such as the minimum parts count

The content based on the above videos are difficult topics for most beginning students.  So...

• Stop staring at the static textbook and interact with multimedia content...it's the next best thing to being there when you can't attend a class for any reason
• Clear the technical mystery covered in class and review videos to reduce or eliminate anxiety and frustration before an exam 
• Not all the videos are posted on YouTube in a single channel or at other video websites.
  • Student-Friendly Service and Navigation found in Freedom University (TM) provide a convenient and logical sequence to the video content for the student...saving time and frustration in looking for specific videos. 
• Includes selected lesson notes used in the videos when you want to focus on traditionally difficult topics what is being presented and review videos often.
