On Reddit: "ELEC2302 is a fundamental unit using mostly math (Calculus) and some basic circuits. ELEC3506 talks about network structures (most are theories with some basic calculations). I would recommend taking ELEC2302 first as it's a prerequisite for many units. But I'm studying Electric…"
On Reddit: "The content is not so difficult during the semester, however, the final exam is pretty tough, so make sure you keep up with the tutorials and actually wrap your head around the Fourier and Laplace topics, it can be easy to fall behind in this subject as it is not very demanding;…"
