I agree .... when I was at the RAAF School of Technical Training in the 70's ... the class was not allowed 'Calculators ' to work out ' values ' in an electronic circuit......we all had to ' work it out in our heads ' using ' formulas ' relating to Ohms Law / Voltage Drops ' / Amps / on Series and Parallel Circuits.....in other words ... get your brain into gear and learn to do it yourself....I received a ' Credit ' for that subject.
Today, you can ' punch ' the numbers into a Scientific Calculator and it gives ' you ' the answer.... where's the learning in that ...??
