1. You should know how to find the Thévenin equivalent of a circuit made of ideal resistors, voltage sources and current sources. 2. You should know how to estimate without calculation the response of simple RC circuits to step-function inputs in a qualitative way (what the response looks like). For sinusoidal inputs, you should be able to estimate without calculation the input and output impedance at the frequency extremes, and be able to estimate Vout/Vin of a filter by counting octaves/decades, and if necessary be able to calculate by using the rules of complex arithmetic. 3. You should be able to sketch the waveforms at specific points in a circuit, for a variety of circuits using resistors, capacitors and/or diodes, given an initial input waveform (usually a sine wave). For example, given a sine-wave input to a diode limiter circuit or a rectifying circuit, show quantitatively what the output waveform should look like. 4. You should be able to design or analyze a single transistor current source and a single transistor emitter follower amplifier. You should also be able to predict the DC voltages resulting from bias networks, and choose the parts to set such voltages to desired values.
