First off I am not changing any of my promises I made. Especially the ones I have made in the tech community. At the very least I do hope to get emotional support. Really that is all I am asking.
My Electrical trades instructor tends to mock me when ever I don’t understand something in class. I don’t know why this solder and PCB design concepts makes soo much more since to me than the NEC. Especially the math required for fallowing it. My teacher often gets confused about the terms I use because he is an electrician not an Electronics Engineer. Most of my classmates even get angry with me because I will bring up electronics theory such as parallel and series circuits along with the ohms law we have covered in class. Only Article 220 and the tables used for all this is not reinforced with the theories that I have come to know and use in just about everything I do in my own electronics lab.
My friend who I look up to as a mentor has even told me that I am over complicating things. If I don’t understand something how am I supposed to learn unless I use something I do understand to resole the problems I am facing? I was told I need to have the math sheet I was given yesterday done today. There is literally no written text on how the theories and formulas because this class was designed to teach Hich-school students. Right now I am making an (-A) because I have been able to figure things out in my own electronics lab. However, doing this eats up a lot of time because I am doing research into the history and the science that is involved with this field.
Am I really over complicating this by using the stuff I know to learn the stuff I don’t? Even the Algebra I use is mocked because the step by step methods make it a lot harder for me. I have been converting this method to the standard variables and constants that I have been used to. Again this eats up a lot of time. My primary request is that if anyone here has the time I really could use the help in finding faster methods in interpreting the NEC and the tables used within the math. Even if all you can do is give me emotional support I will be very grateful. Bridging the gap has been near impossible to say the least.
