Some things are meant to be closed. Your mind isn't one of them.

Sounds good to me!
I've got a decent understanding of the basics of analog circuits (maybe not functional knowledge, but enough to read more and figure it out), but where I really get lost is when things go digital and you add transistors and micro-controllers. I'd love to have a class where I could leave and understand simple circuits with semiconductors and controllers like these: www.sparkfun.com/products/11044 www.sparkfun.com/products/9286

Yep, that would be the Advanced electronics class. I think the fundamentals of the Resistor, Capacitor and Inductor need to be understood first hence the reason for the Basic Part II.
My goal is to crate a series of classes throughout the year, then start them all over again so new members have a chance to take them. Something like Basic Electronics I Basic Electronics II Advanced Electronics (maybe I and II not sure yet) Introduction to Micro controllers & Programing Basics How to Solder
Then in between I might do some quicky classes that focus on a single topic like Transistors & MOSFETs, Switches and Relays, Electromagnetism etc.
