>physics labs that force you to use an oscilloscope and power supply

>the instructors refuse to explain how to use them to you because it's "part of the lab" even though you have no experience working with electronics

Hey, maybe there's a reason I didn't choose EE as my major. So why the hell do they insist on forcing this on me? It would at least not be so bad if the profs didn't outright refuse to show you how to use the equipment and expect you to follow some badly written manual without any pictures.
