The students would... The Discrete Mathematics course I took had a double 
whammy. The instructor (not a prof) barely understood the topics and the 
book was horrible. The book was written by prof in the math department. The 
worst part were the schematics; the book used relay "circuits" to 
demonstrate boolean operations. Unfortunately the schematics used non-
standard symbols for relays and the schematics were monopole. Current 
magically flowed from a battery through the relays and into light bulbs 
without returning. To make things even more confusing, the drawings showed 
the relay switch contacts touching the coils.
