This past year I decided to pursue an associates degree in industrial electricity/electronics. I have no background in the field and wanted to learn from scratch. I took an electricity class as a minor a few years ago and remember most of the basics. I'm not really learning much from my instructor because he just reads the slides (and I'm perfectly capable of reading myself).Then test time we get a study guide with all the answers, take the test and move on. I'm wondering if the fast pace and lack of understanding is going to hurt me in the long run or will I learn most of what I need to know if/when I get a job in the field?
Also in labs if I don't understand he basically just gives the answers. I'm on transformers now, and I find it relatively easy. But everything dealing with electric motors, semi conductors, and digital logic I don't understand at all even though I was able to pass the tests. I can study and pass things with little to no practical application or knowledge of how to use what I learned.
