Electric First Day

1st Day way was good. Informing and also confusing in some areas. The little stuff will work themselves out as we go along I'm sure.

As for electricity; what do i know and what do i know i don't know about the topic. I've learned about electricity in school, work, from friends, co-workers, instructors, and occasionally with a paper clip and and outlet... I get the basics of positive, negative, current flow and can load test a battery or alternator on a vehicle as well as can test certain wires to determine wear a faulty part might be. But when it comes to actually remembering volts, ohms, amperes, ect... and how they all work together and what exactly they are, i have yet to find an explanation or a way of learning it so i can keep this locked in to my head. I have heard explanations ranging from water in a pipe to a photographer lens. Evidently none of which have been too successful due to the fact that when i read the question at the bottom of our task sheet about discussing what i know, i found i had to reteach myself the basics so i could have something to say tomorrow.

I wonder what is a good learning style for me with electricity being that I tend to be an accommodating/hands-on learner?

  1. I'm sorry I didn't find this sooner.

    But, it looks to have worked out OK so far?

    There is so much, and time is so short.

    Keep up the conversation. I believe it really helps to write a little reflection on your learning'. Quite well proven actually. (;
