> who get all this stuff "easily" (previous practice, exposure) I've graduated in Eastern Europe, my experience might be different, but I CONSTANTLY heard my peer bitching&moaning about the materials to be hard. I found them to be "easy", as in easy to score 7/10 to get to 9/10 you'd have to apply yourself or be smart and to get to 10/10 you'd really have to apply yourself. Granted, I did have "previous practice" -- meaning I was highly interested in programming and electronics. There were some infamous professors that made things "hard" for students -- those were the reaaaly boring, ultra-math-heavy-showoff-pricks I'm glad they had a car accident and died. I still remember I didn't even bother going to the course of such a prick professor after course 3, just repeated the course the next year with a much more down-to-earth professor, and my blood still boils when I think how much fun I had just studying opams mathematical circuits with the second professor's materials and how bad the first prick-professor made us feel with his showoff maths. I didn't even go to the second professors in-person courses, I could tell from his study book he was a down-to-earth guy and his interest was conveying cool stuff to his students and not how much of math guru he was. So when things were "hard" it was usually because the professor was an actual showoff prick and not because of an unfortunate missunderstanding on his part about our capabilities as students. Those pricks know very well what they're doing and how scared students are about them and how many they are failing, they just get off on that stuff.
