I wrote this as a complaint before I +really started working on this lab. + +I'm going to be frank with you: + +Completing these labs is painful. + +The lab description itself is 16 pages long. + +Every part of the lab reads the same way a 4'' paintbrush dunked in a +bucket of red paint and splattered across a wall looks. + +The writer gives a thousand times more information than you need, and +instructs you to do things .... a million things. + +And then, at the end of the lab, a description of what you're actually +supposed to submit is given. The two are so loosely connected ... it +means there is no one good strategy to break things down and start +working. You just have to keep reading and re-reading, looking for +parts or aspects you haven't covered, and then you have to sew all +those harvested organs of incomplete understanding into a cadaver, +packing dozens of lungs, livers and kidneys in however they'll fit, as +though enough organs will bring a corpse to life. + +I had a much better time understanding it, now that I'm re-reading the +whole thing very carefully and following the math being demonstrated, +but it's no wonder everyone hates these labs. + +It's insanely punishing if you haven't read the lab before you start +doing the procedure. + +Did I mention that the lab description (which contains the procedure) +isn't released until 15 minutes before the Lab section? + \end{document} diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile new file mode 100644 index 0000000..249886d --- /dev/null +++ b/Makefile @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +run: + python3 ./lab2_fixed.py + +build: + pdflatex -shell-escape -file-line-error -interaction=nonstopmode LAB3.tex diff --git a/circuit_diagram.png b/circuit_diagram.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..97a5ce1 Binary files /dev/null and b/circuit_diagram.png differ
