I investigated this course by Dr. Bogatin, watched 3 of the "Tracks" and carefully studied both the slides and Dr. Botgatin's book "Signal and Power Integrity...Simplified". I find that the illustrations and rule(s) of thumb are confusingly presented without much sensible progression in the course of the material.
The material, contrary to his claims, leaves one with little insight or 'practical' knowledge of measurements. He entirely neglects that the regime of measurements shown are, in fact, time samples of signals (via 'real' instrumentation), subject to both quantization and non-uniform time sampling effects. He neither admits these non ideal traits nor attempts to account for them.
In sum, I found this course to be of no value. My original background of undergrad study (BSEE 1981) included the BP Lathi textbook studying "Linear systems", Linear Systems and Signals, B. P. Lathi Oxford University Press.
The presentation by Lathi is more mathematically oriented. It also is more methodical and brings true clarity of exposition (with the necessary prerequisite mathematical background chapter) rather than resorting to Bogatin's confusing 'rule of thumb' approach.
Pedagogically speaking, a little extra study effort goes a long way to mastering the subject material and being able to advance one's own understanding and applying that knowledge to 'real world' . BP Lathi can lead you through to true understanding; unfortunately Bogatin's course left me without guidance.
